The Spotted Moth Without Wings

And thus came my mind.

No more divide.

Black and white as one.

The atmosphere is gray.

So where do I stay?

I don't know what I want.

I flutter and fly.

Into perfect creatures I collide.

What a pity existence.

Why couldn't I be a butterfly?


My wings slowly decay

Day by day

They crumble like ashes

Down goes all passion.

The dark is warm.

The light is warm.

My heart is cold with uncertainty. 


A commitment to one and only one.

Diurnal or Nocturnal.

Choose what you want.  


There is a hole in my back

No wings, just two large cracks.

Reach in and take a grab.

Make sure I don't scab.

Feel the squish and the ooze

Why does it feel good? 


A simple minded moth

Does not think, it just does

Like a puppet it moves

In one direction, not two.

No thoughts, no motions, just follow our directions. 


But I am held back.

There are two hands in my back!

What can I possibly do?!


I'm being split apart.

can i return to the start? 

Pretend you hate the light.

Authority to those who are forgiven.

I don't want to be an abject.
