I am a moth
You are a flame,

Drawn to you
Captivated by everything you do,

Despite the risks of getting burned
I still keep on closing in,

To feel the warmth
of your embrace.

Never thought you would be so enticing
My Friends said stay back, don’t even try
Silly me for not taking their advice
I was hooked, and there was no saying bye

I don't ever want to say goodbye
Cause you're too amazing, too stunning
So mind-altering, trust me, I can fly
My heartbeat rises, almost skipping a beat

My pessimistic mind thinks you’re fiction
That being said, you're still my addiction

Its raining heavily, I'm stuck in the mud.Struggling, trying to stay still...
I am helpless and can't escape.

Before, I wasn't stuck in here, but when I saw her pulling them up; One by one, they all break free. They all rejoice while she still suffers.

I couldn't bare it much longer. I took a step and pulls her. Her other half is free at a distance but still miserable behind its own cage.

I have decided to take a risk. I'm aware that there's no turning back.
I chose to take her place and free her; even if it means I'll be the one to suffer.

I wipe her tears with my hand. Wore my smile and tell her it's fine. I promise I will free her from such burden. And see her soothing smile at me again.

The more I pull the more I sink, but its fine...so long as she's freed. I will give her my all even I sink deeper. My life is nothing in  exchange for her freedom.

I used to not understand why people got so upset over breakups.
I mean, there are 6 billion people on earth.
There’s bound to be another one that fits the bill.

Then it happens.
You like someone.
And they chase you.
Get you into something you never planned.
You decide to give it a shot.
You take a gamble.
Then , Boom!  they’re gone.

That stuff hurts.
Often, pain comes from emotions we don’t understand.
Things which don’t make sense.
Our body deals with it somewhere in the stomach.
Gut feelings.

Me, I am a gambler.
You have to take shots in life.
Sometimes they work out.
Other times, they don’t.
But if you never push in all your chips
You don’t have a chance at winning the ***.

Not this time.
Maybe next time.
