Hotter Than Fire

Hope ignites the candle that burns
in the depths of your heart and soul.
And yet, persistent doubt returns,
levying a heartbreaking toll.
When that inner flame’s doused by tears,
anxiety makes you nauseous.
And while loneliness fuels fears,
lust circumvents being cautious.
The moth woos the flame, and they waltz;
though courting death, she may expire.
Enamored, she's blind to fire's faults,
for desire burns hotter than fire.
Happiness morphs into teardrops
within a world where wishes die.
The lying simply never stops,
and fledgling hearts need trust to fly.
