“Forbidden Affection”

I’m the moth and you are the light. I was attracted to you. I felt the urge to come near, even though I was afraid I’d get hurt. The way you shined — it was amazing. I was looking for the sun so I wouldn’t lose the path I was told to take. However, you got in the way and caught my attention. You weren’t the light I thought you were. I knew it was wrong to go to you but I was stubborn. It was a mistake, coming to you. It was a mistake, following your brightness. It was a mistake being attracted to you. For you were used as a bait to kill me. You weren’t the sun — you were only pretending to be. And that hurt me. Now everything burns: my wings, my skin, my eyes and even my heart. I shouldn’t have trusted you. I should’ve known that we were incompatible for each other. I should’ve remembered their warning: to beware, for many things can fool your eyes. I should’ve buried that in mind.
