Be careful moth
Lest you fall into the tea
Is it the sugary aroma that entices you?
Or perhaps you are hooked on caffeine?
Why do you walk around the rim of the cup?
When you could, so easily, fly to the other side?
Are you daft?
Do you have thought?
What inspires or motivates you?
What desires do you have?
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO FLY?
And why are you so attracted to light at night?
You may not share the same elegance
And beauty of sister butterfly
But you are more interesting
OH NO!!!
....AND STUPID!!!
Was it suicide, or did you fall?
Were you high on sugar and caffeine?
And drunkenly drowned?
Am I to blame?
Did I make you feel ugly, or inadequate?
Your existence surely wasn't so futile.
I appreciated your presence
Despite putting me off finishing my tea.
And although I had to make myself another cup of tea
After first flushing your lifeless body down the sink
I will miss you.
