For J, before.
My little wings flutter
Up and about you
What you don’t know,
What you just don’t know…
As you laugh out loud
And playfully swat me around…
Is that my tiny heart is singed
By every glow of pink glitter
That you wish to see
Emanating from within
(what you thought comes out naturally)
Like a thousand glorious little comets
Coming together
To set your sky alight
With a beautiful crash towards doom
You take Wendy’s hand
And fly off to that same sky
(still alight with the rosy afterglow)
Never remembering me
As I watched you, my heart crackling in flames
from the darkness below.
(hey Wendy told me she still wanted to grow up…
Maybe in Neverland, we just never know
How to give up…)
And I…
Maybe someday
I’ll be like a mini-supernova
As the last bit of radiance
Would set my heart aflame
Then I’d wish to explode
In a shooting shower of fairydust
Finally engulfing you
In a barely felt embrace
