The Credo of the Moth

I guess you deserve a confession
Yes, you're correct, you've observed obsession
Or, perhaps, it's passion, perfectly displayed
But what does the Moth confess to the Flame?
(Don't worry - I know this
In fact, I'll quote it)
"I've been called to join your light
At your altar, I lay down my life"
See, the Moth has become my friend
What humans cannot comprehend
With sacrifice, life does not merely end
The Credo of the Moth:
Where love and life is given
This is addition
There is no loss
And I have become the same
Movement motivated by something bigger than a brain
We are not simply drawn to just any flame
Something about a specific spectrum, calls our name
I wish NOT to learn
To control the yearning
I am the Moth
Baby, I came for the BURNING
When the fire,
I slip inside her
And I am granted the death I desire
WE make the whole world
Burn that much brighter

Freedom in surrendering...not shame.
