Moths

Somethings are easier to explain than most. But what gets me is that everyone fails to mention what happens to the moth after the flame is extinguished. The sorrow that escapes through the air as black smoke. The burning smell of a wick sweltering in the remains of liquid wax. Soon to harden as if nothing has happened. And the moth, forever left with it's essence Soon left alone, blinded. Not knowing which way to go
