                                              I was in awe
with how you
moved.
With how you
drew looks
everytime you
stepped into
the room,
with how your
smile could light
up the darkness
in so many people.
                          And then that
light was directed
to me.
And like a moth,
I fell into your
spell.
Your smile,
your kindness,
your eyes,
your love.
                          But like a fool,
I was in too deep.
I let myself get
caught up in your
web,
let myself think
I could dance with
this fire.
I was wrong.
