Moth to Flame

Like a moth to flame,
I am drawn to you,
Hypnotized by you.

Like the flame
You are dangerous
And enchantingly deadly.

Like the moth
I will be burned
By this all-consuming passion.

Like the moth
I cannot fight my instinctive attraction,
Even when I know what fate surely lies ahead.

You cannot change what you are,
Like the flame
That dances about so brilliantly.

If I escape, like a moth from flame,
I will be marked for life,
But you, like that flame, will remain untouched.
