Moth to Your Flame

Your eyes haunt my dreams at night.
The cut that stripes your face from hair line to jaw.
The pain you cause in reality is almost as unbearable as the pain you bring in the shadows.
The glow from the moon my only comfort.
The glow the only thing guiding me back to your arms.
Drawing me in like a moth to a fire.
So dangerous.
So freeing.
But everytime I burn from your touch,
Every time you scorch my skin with your hands,
Everytime your lips land on mine, the heat radiates to my very core.
The betrayal from the knife goes so deep it turned my blood black.
And I don't notice the scar down your face.
I don't notice the flames on your tongue as your lies dance in my ears.
All i notice is your brown eyes piercing mine.
Your lips mouthing my name
Drawing me in
Pulling me near
Just to plunge your knife into my back again.
The moth engulfed once again.
