farewell

and she cried, "i want you to stay by me"
pulled the tears from my eyes
a shame that smiles i missed you so
soon turn to tears goodbye
and home is always where i am
though i dream it far away
and true love's secret ingredient: stay

love the pull of gravity
of changing moon and waves in me
is butterscotch peppermint swap candies
so sweet delicious you taste to me
and i could be your girlfriend, best friend, sister, mother, wife,
a pixie butterfly about you
sprinkling glitter upon your life
