Bottle of Starlight

I recall on that night
Thousands of fireflies alight
Waltzing through the trees
Upon some suburban breeze

Newest moon, red-rimmed sky
Darkest blue, starlit night
Tucked away, locked inside
Precious things

How I hoped to capture
The feeling in a phrase
"Lighting in a jar," no...
"Fireflies to chase away the darkness"

How lonely I believed you to be
Or were those feelings
Merely my own?
Was it you who needed
That bottle of starlight?
Or was it I?

Choking on fear
Learning to cry
Pleasure and pain
Locked inside
Never again will I lock away
These precious things
