Fire II

You are like a sky.  A fire across the clouds.  And I can't peel my eyes away.

Like a moth drawn to your flame,  I'd rather burn down to nothing, then to  fade from your memory.

I was a part of you,     the way each                                   crater  adds a little bit of character                    to the moon.

And you erased me from your life. Dressed me in nonexistence.                        It was easier for you to look away than to wrap me in                     your love.

I guess I flew too close to you, because  my dear, you were the sun, and  when you pulled me into you,                        my wings  disintegrated, and                     I crumbled away in your  warmth.
