i am trapped in a storm
a space in my mind that feels endless
i can only be saved from this void
by one thing
but that thing
that person
is hardly ever there when i need him most
so i try and save myself
but i can never escape
the only outcome
are more scars on my body

i dont know what it is about fireflies
but i have always been drawn to them
whether the night is inviting or not
i have always gone outside to greet my tiny friends anyways
dancing outside barefoot and letting the grass beneath me dance between my toes in a tickleish tango
it was always my favorite thing to do
now
i hate it
its all because of you

my heart is wheeping
because i dont ever want to see you
for fear that i might fall for you
your gentle words and gentle soul
are making my heart torn between you and him
i dont want to leave him
but seeing your face makes my heart fall into my stomach
and my knees buckle in longingness
i need him
i want you
i dont want to choose between the two
but i will never shake my loyalty
and i will never be labeled as a traitor
my heart is tired of this

you
when night grows close
and the moon has replaced the sun
i look for your soul to give me the warmth and comfort i need to rest

when dawn has come
and everything is back to life
i listen for your voice to pull me out of slumber

and when my heart aches
and tears fall down my face
i long for the reassurence in the arms you hold me with

— The End —
