I don't want to be
a moth
catching on fire.
But if someone would offer me
love/acceptance/salvation/help,
would I not fly
directly into the fire?
Burning my wings off
in the meantime.
But would the pain
of losing something as important
as wings are to a moth
satisfy the Gods of sacrifice?
Would then every tear and scar
be meaningful?
The burning desire
to be saved.
