Moth
By Sweeetsuz
A Dusky brown moth beating Her wings at the flame Futilely thrusting her life away Near the incandescence of a candle Like my heart beating against The rocky hardness of your indifference My powdery wishes dying at your altar The dewiness drying from the heat Of your flame burning my dreams Turning my wings to dust. Sensing that my needs have no worth Only draws me, as the moth, to my demise. Rising on singed wings the moth Seeks ever her fiery destiny To once more circle and plunge Nearer ever to the final searing pain Driven as the tiny dusky moth To seek my own burning flame Knowing the path holds madness That despair is the coin of the realm I must circle ever nearer dying The dying, dusky, moth’s refrain.
