One By One

One by one 
all your admirers want their fun.
One by one
they approach the rising sun.


One by one 
they fly too close to the sun
and get burnt
by the desire that they yearned.


I wanted to be the first 
and the last one
but realized that I could never quench your  thirst
and that you would never be done.
