The Firefly Darkness

The stars twinkled like diamonds
The darkness was a blanket around us
We sat on the grass and talked

The jar in my hand was cold
The buzzing of the fireflies made my hand tingle
You told me that it would go away

And it did
But so did you
You left me

You left me and the darkness
Alone
Without you

You left a sharp pain in my heart
That never seemed to leave
Never quite healing

You never came back
You were gone like the wind
Fast, quick, and cold…

I never let go of you
I held onto you for dear life
But you slipped away

You slipped further
and further
Until all that was left was a memory

A memory of Fireflies
Of darkness
Of you and me
