The Moth and the Flame
I do not think you know how deeply
You have intruded into my soul
It is my fault
I knew you were dangerous
I should not have invited you here
Because you care so completely
It is easy to lose track of where I am
I know you understand
How could you not
But how could I let it go this far?
I’ve been a fool
Like all the rest
Irresistibly drawn to your light
When I should have listened to my past
I am not afraid of what you will do to me now
I am more afraid of what I will do to myself
After you’re gone
You have intruded into my soul
It is my fault
I knew you were dangerous
I should not have invited you here
Because you care so completely
It is easy to lose track of where I am
I know you understand
How could you not
But how could I let it go this far?
I’ve been a fool
Like all the rest
Irresistibly drawn to your light
When I should have listened to my past
I am not afraid of what you will do to me now
I am more afraid of what I will do to myself
After you’re gone
