Hearts that Burn

I am alone-

I am simple

I am small

I am nothing.

Then-

In the dark I see her

She is bright

She crackles and sparks

Her light shines in the

Black.

She calls me-

I cannot turn away

I am transfixed

Fate has brought me

Here.

She is my all-

My everything.

As I flitter around her

I show her my

Love.

I circle her

I worship her

She is love

I am besotted I am

Hers.

I cannot turn away

We are one

Close as close can be

And all I want is to be

Closer.

Love burns

And I am lost.

As I cease to exist

I am not sad, she was

Love.

The fire continues to burn

Shining and bright

Unaware of the love

Of the faithful

Moth.
