"Moth and a Flame"
)
I knew if I said too much
This would happen
I should have known
And not gotten so close
He is like a flame
And I, a moth
I keep coming back
Except this time I was really burned
I want to go back though
Say it was all *******
And I made it up
Ask for forgiveness
But I know I can’t
I know why I’ve been feeling this sinking feeling
In my stomach every time I thought about him
My mind warned me
But I didn’t listen
Like a moth to a flame
I kept going back
I couldn’t help myself
I wish I listened
I wished I stopped,
Cold turkey
But he’s addicting
And I’ve already burnt
My wings to a crisp
I can’t fly away
I’m stuck here
Left to defend
Against the unwanted thoughts
And the ultimate betrayal,
He has displayed
I won’t go back, I can’t
But I might
He still is a flame
And I, a moth
