chasing fireflies

Chasing fireflies, 

I knew a girl that said she wish she was a firefly so she could light the way for those who only saw the darkness

She was so sweet when you'd meet her you think she to good to be true. 

Well she was always polite and smiled brightly but that look in her eye told you other wise.

She would look at fireflys and have a twinkle in her eyes. 

The girl ran away she left a note saying

"Don't look for me I'm chasing fireflies like you would care if I lost my light.

you forgot my name. What kind of parent are you anyway? 

You'd always complain when I didn't talk to you about what's going on but whenever I tried you just shut your eyes

Saying I'm busy go outside and play. Tell me how are you to busy not to listen to your 

Own flesh and blood doubting there existence" 

Well her mother did look for her daughter she just got drunk and drank away her sorrows away.

15 years to this day that  girl was on TV  the news caster showed her on edge of the roof she spread her arms out and fell 

29 flights they found a blood soaked note and gave it to her mother.

"Look at me now, are you proud of your precious child? " was all it said her mother just bowed her head.

She stared at the letter drinking a bottle of wine. My baby gone and taken her own life was all her mother could think.

When anyone asked how she was doing chasing fireflies was all she could think to say.

How could I been so blinds? The mother sang out to the skies maybe if I was a better mom you would be out chasing fireflies. She said every year on the day she the girls mother would go to her grave sight and let out 29 fireflies
