Firework Poem by Casey Jarrell

What a sad night without you.
In the most hostile empty place,
where is the right distraction?
There's an explosion because there is no light without darkness.

There's something in the air,
there's something in you,
that draws me to you.
Enlighten the heavens
and enlighten me.
Like a great firework that fills my heart,
how long will this darkness last?
It keeps expanding along the border between me and you.

The good and bad within me
makes the whole of my soul.
A magical glow will remain.

There's something in the air,
there's something in you,
that draws me to you.
Enlighten the heavens
and enlighten me.
Like a great firework that fills my heart,
how long will this darkness last?
It keeps expanding along the border between me and you.

There's something in the air,
there's something in you,
that draws me to you.
Light up the night.
Brighten the stars.
Like a great firework that fills my heart,
how long will this darkness last?
Now is the present and my love for you is far away when you're not here.
