Like A Moth To The Flame

You danced around me, your words soft and subtle,
Ensnaring me, trapping me like a moth to a flame,
Drawing me into you, your words promises of passion

I came to you that day, full of hopes, dreams, and fears,
And you banished away the darkness with your soft voice,
Your words the light that carried me along on waves of ecstasy

In you I sensed a kindred spirit, one I could lean on when I was down,
A friend, a companion, a lover and a soul mate,
Someone to walk with me, not in front of me, or behind me

And yet somehow I sit here more alone than when we started,
For I have committed the ultimate folly, the ultimate sin,
I have let myself fall in love with you, being a foolish little moth

For like that fragile creature that batters itself to death against the glass,
Or flies uncaring into the open flame, drawn by its promised heat,
I find that in the end, the flame needs more fuel than I alone can give it

And I watch with hurt and pain, as you draw yet another moth into the flame,
Unknowing, or worse yet, knowing the depth of the pain you cause me,
Yet you are the light, that draws the moth to the flame

Lunasidhe -

quote:

Drawing me into you, your words promises of passion


I feel your pain in your words and am not diminishing nor ignoring the validity of that pain when I note that the promise of passion in the words spoken to you seems to have been delivered. Passion is a depth of feeling created through commitment or intense bond and is not always about sexual experience - it is about the depth of your feeling toward whatever the subject matter is.

quote:

Yet you are the light, that draws the moth to the flame


You express your dismay quite well and I wonder if your feelings of helplessness and hurt have since worked themselves out.

The sentiment is that of sorow, lets hope there is some joy in the dance. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
