Like a Moth

Like a moth I know I'll burn
But as a moth, I won't hold back

I won't hold back, imprisoned by imperfection
I can't hold back from warmth of your affection.

In the warmth of affection I will sink my delicate heart
In totality of your affection, I will swim with broken arms.

I will swim with broken arms to the heat of our fusion
With broken arms I'll wade to the safety of the shore.

To the safety of the shore where lay heart of a moth
Whence on sandy shores fly tinges like wild moth.

Like a moth I fly into the heart of the hearth
Like a jolly moth my wings burn in your love.
