I engulf myself in impatience and wonder why waiting didnt work for you. i will be punished for the passion I dont fully show to myself because consciousness takes bravery and bravery cant exist without fear. I crave the intimacy of the wind singing me a song you didnt pay attention to. But a man will hum the tune and take credit for stolen beauty and you will congratulate the melody. Your hands graze what could be prudence but your tongue reminds me the bitter cold never cared when warmth would return. even so, language is the strongest form of seduction and i am drawn to the flame i know will burn me. and i will let myself love you as you remind me that fire devours reason.

Moth and Flame
I engulf myself in impatience and wonder why waiting didnt work for you. i will be punished for the passion I dont fully show to myself because consciousness takes bravery and bravery cant exist without fear. I crave the intimacy of the wind singing me a song you didnt pay attention to. But a man will hum the tune and take credit for stolen beauty and you will congratulate the melody. Your hands graze what could be prudence but your tongue reminds me the bitter cold never cared when warmth would return. even so, language is the strongest form of seduction and i am drawn to the flame i know will burn me. and i will let myself love you as you remind me that fire devours reason.
