just a girl
with golden eyes
the sunlight and
some fireflies

wandering in
a sunshine beam
with poetry
and everything

She loved coffee cups
and pouring rain
searched for love
and tried again

she stayed up late
and loved to sing
she hated math
and onion rings

soon the storms
became too much
the darkness
left her out of touch

twisting through
a broken stream
she lost her faith
and left her dreams

oh sweet girl
with golden eyes
please bring back
the fireflies

where's the girl
who used to sing
and where'd you leave
that sunshine beam
