Moths & Flames

Flicker to a flame
A death unnoticed

A heart crushed

A singular soul lost
Among the detritus of marriage, stability, and finances

Does it really mean that much

To stay within a loverless grasp of

Fear 

The unknown
A simple beat of the wings
Remains

Holding us back

Leaving love as the carcass of a moth

Who flew all too close

To the heart
