A/N: Thank you very much for those of you who replied to my other poem with such kind comments. I hope you all enjoy this one as well.
Fragile, pale, delicate
Seemingly insignificant, this firefly girl
Her light shines so weakly
Surrounded by brighter others
Lost in the cosmic darkness
A child of two worlds
She belongs to neither light or dark
Alone in the night she stands
Can this be the one to save all?
Condemned, misunderstood, she is scorned by others
Crystalline tears, more precious than jewels, are shed in secret
The only testament to silent suffering
She cannot falt them
They know not what they do
So rare, infinitely precious
Her like has never been seen
She knows not her true value
But the demons of the night do
Thrust into shadows, they try to destroy her
Cloaking her, seeking to obliterate her
Attempting to extinguish the already dim glow
It flickers; once more she weeps
Bound by fate
Loss
Silence
Now she understands, she knows what she must do
Shine brightly firefly girl
Revealing her hidden, pure, cleansing light
Chase away the demons firefly girl
Alas, it is too late
One with such luminosity
Cannot exist long
Darkness she has banished
She has taken it upon herself
Drawn the blackness in
The glow flickers and dims
She has paid the price
Firefly. . .
Fading. . .
Into. . .
Nothing. . .
