My Little Mayfly Poem, by John Lee, at My poetic side

She flew in without warning

And landed on my heart

Took me back to a time

Before it was torn apart

I thought my heart was gone

I thought it was alone

Just shattered pieces

Scattered without a home

Then she brought a little bit back

Piece by piece by.. goodbye

Leaving me to wonder..

Will she ever be back

I'm glad I didn't die

I'm glad I spent the time

I loved to see her fly

She gave me a little bit of life

Now she's gone

Again I'm alone

But in my soul

She'll always have a home

Sing along to this psalm

Carry the rest of my heart

To the keeper of my soul

Cause you made me a little bit whole

She's not mine anymore

But I'm still a little bit hers

If only in another time.. in another life

But it's goodbye my little mayfly
