#takingrisks - Hello Poetry

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.

The Moth & The Flame

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.

Her Freedom

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.

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.
