Like a moth to a flame
You reduced me to ash,
Singed these already broken wings,
And at my wounds your flames did lash

I was captivated by your danger
Senseless from your beauty
I only wanted to touch and feel
And so your inferno left my heart sooty

Enticed by your primal heat
I was seduced by the warmth of you
And so I was scorched in defeat
As my wants took over my needs

Ready to burn down whatever crossed your path
You were a raging inferno
I a single moth defenseless in your wrath
Drawn to you by your impassioned thermo
