Flame and moth

Its not escaping   
If it’s nothing   
You’re running from  


It’s just playing  
And forgetting  
The stage you’re on  


Everyone acting out  
A little tragedy  
Of their own   
Years have shown  
Not much comedy  
To be laughing about  


It’s not changing   
If it’s nothing  
You’re putting on  


It’s just saying   
And promising   
You’ll move along  


Everyday tracing down  
A familiar shape  
Of dead light  
From last night  
Voices on a tape  
Chorus of your town  


It’s not escaping  
If it’s nothing  
You’re running from  


It’s just playing  
And pretending  
That all of this  
Is never ending  
Life’s long kiss  
Your send off  
Your goodbye  
Flame and moth  
Soon collide
