My courage clears away in front of you
You do not know my feelings and you do
Not know my intentions I left undone

The hedgehog beating in my left chest’s sphere
It keeps me safe – it keeps me all alone
Throughout the time the hedgehog’s spikes have grown
My heart is pierced whenever you are near

And yet I seek the pain like moths the light
Oh if my dreams come true I will combust
This quandary makes suicidal lust
The light bulb which attracts my love at night

But I would rather die than live in slackness
Just as the moth that prefers death to blackness

Not sure what you are speaking about --
fear of loving someone?
fear of rejection?
fear of life?
I quickened to the line of the moth preferring death to darkness. It's a reversal of how we think of moths, right? That they head for the light, we know, but you flipped the perception. Very nice.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
