Fireflies Flash

1)

Open the flood gates,
Let the rain pour.
And stand out with my toes in the earth,
Letting it roar.
Feeling no power,
But who says that's bad?
This could be the best I've ever had.
How will I know if I don't open these gates.
So I undo the latch, and fling them out wide.
Wet warmth washes over me, I smile with a sigh.


2)

Fireflies flash, with no power to last.
Hurt stays for longer than the smiles.
Sometimes to save them, you hurt them at the start.
But its not you hurting them, It's saving them from what could hurt.
You care too much to even give it a chance.
Is that possible?
Fireflies flash, and I never want to see you sad.
