Fireflies, Part 3: On Communication and Arguments

Do Fireflies Fight?

Lovers’ spats sparking from missed messages - 
sorry it was a black hole behind that tree 
…can you see me now? 
Fire and fury on one side 
Flashing out in public for anyone to see, 
Yet unnoticed by the other, in their own world. 

Head turned away, distracted by other lights, 
Or just looking for peace and darkness 
To recover for a bit? 
where are you going? 
Sending thought after lonely thought - 
will you look at me when i’m talking to you!? 

And when communication fully fails, you find not
 Silence that makes you feel invisible,
But darkness - 
where are you? 
So complete that you feel utterly alone 
As if no one else exists for you, or ever will again.
