The Moth...written October 16th, 2003...by Kristin "Kat" Kerwell

The Moth

Watching the fire that night,

I saw the moth fly in,

Getting burned up in the heat,

The attraction drew it in.

Will my attraction to you,

Do the same thing to me,

Will I be drawn in by you,

Just to be burned by your heat?

The moth couldn�t stop,

The flame called to it,

Beckoning, wanting,

The light too hard to resist.

That�s what you are to me,

A beautiful luminosity,

Calling to me from the dark,

Drawing me into your arms.

I don�t want to be hurt,

Please don�t let me get burned,

Like that moth that I saw,

Take its last flight�into love.
