I'd love to see a firefly
Each night before I sleep
Illuminate my blanket sky
When countless sheep
Take turns to leap
I wish for a firefly
For the children that weep
Their tears would dry
When they see a firefly

She listens on
to the melody void of octaves
A phantom grasping under uncertainty
Reality handed her a flaming torch
Her dress billows in the breeze
as she burns herself free
disarrayed by flames.

floating
upon mint green
sea foam
under lilac
skies
speckled with
baby blue
clouds
rocking
back and forth
as the wind sings
a peaceful melody
i can feel once more
and
i'm not afraid to
why would i ever
want to awake?
to leave this
pastel wonderland
for the world of pain
of blood
and tears
...
maybe this time
i won't
maybe i'll stay
i'll lock myself away
in bliss
in slumber
*forever
