In his eyes are fireflies,

and I know them all by name;

he brightens my every evening,

and crowns my days the same;

he restores my glass heart,

protecting it in his hands;

he's the embers to my ashes,

even without his kind romance;

his smile is all I ask for,

and his laugh is melodic art;

I can only hope he returns soon,

so no fear holds us apart;

yet never would I pray to God,

if it's not bringing him joy;

only if he wants me as his girl,

will I again call him my boy.


The author's comments:

This piece was both interesting and difficult for me to write, as I wrote the first half when I still had a boyfriend, and the second half after being broken up with. It's mostly about still having feelings for someone I can't have. It's one I took awhile to write, simply because I wanted to make it perfect. I'm not sure I can call it perfect, but I do think I can call it heartfelt at the very least. I hope people can perhaps feel more empowered or loved because of this poem, and, if nothing else, enjoy the rhymes I tried to implement for fun. Much love!
