Burn me

Moths don't often write poems

about the burn of the flame

But they worship the candle all the same

I'd be covered in soot

But my courage will not wane

Wax drippings would burn my foot

And I would savor the pain

Because I remember I'd do

Anything absolutely insane

If you were the candle

That I could not tame.

I would strap on wax wings

And fly towards the sun too

I'd leave my skin boiling

And the flames would burn blue

I thought Icarus an idiot

But I remember I'd do

Almost any stupid thing

If the sun were you.

- To you
