You and I, we were born from similar conditions
And we carved our lives with similar decisions
In many ways we're eachother's reflections
but we've ceased to be eachother's voices,
over crackling phone lines
We don't make time,
we don't take time,
the way it used to be
Our conditions now vary
between you and me
I'm sorry I can't be of any more use to you
That I can't act like you expected me to
But what were your expectations, really
It's not my trade to cherish defeat
Congratulations for buying time
It's all still for rent,
it's all still on lease
As am I
I've tried to follow your every development
I've been your companion to your every dead end
I've overlooked everything and given my consent
It's not that I don't care anymore,
I just ran out of energy
and it's not enough for me
to just stand by and watch you leave
Our situations now differ
Our situations are unique
I'm sorry I can't be of any more use to you
That I can't act like you expected me to
But what were your expectations, really
It's not my trade to cherish defeat
Congratulations for buying time
It's all still for rent,
it's all still on lease
As am I,
my little firefly.

I don't know but... I don't know. this one touched me though I was already in a very emotional state of mind. I just... Well. It's strong, it's impressive, it's everything you are as a poet.
I'm also in a very emotional state of mind... Thank you, doll. That's the best compliment anyone ever gave me for a poem. <3
