Arielle Silver

We understand each other

This moth and me

We've each got our vices

Ilogically

I'm lighting a lamp,

I'm drawing it near

Letting it flicker and fly

To a flame it should fear

You lower the lamp

When I come by

So you are the brightest thing

Catching my eye

My will to protest

Only mimics my veer

Towards the heat of your fire

The flame I should fear

I know I'll be weeping

I know I should hide

But I'm so sick of sleeping

And my bed is so wide

I cannot control

My fascination

With the beautiful danger

Of the situation

I tango too close

I'm calling you dear

Chancing a fiery dance

With a flame I should fear

Firefly flicker flame lighter match

Flame I should fear
