Come now, play a game
Talk a man out of his name
Whisper him to death
So as he may rest in his smooth jacket
With a liars tongue
Speak as though a friend
And let him dream of sounds
Sweet, sweet, sounds

Come now, play a game
Dance the moth into a flame
We are lost to our own
So dance that moth
Around, around, around
Hold it close in cruel embrace
Before you brush off it’s dust
Remember its drooling eyes
Before you give it a push

Always was a sucker for the bright lights

Play, play a game
Dance the moth into a flame

Hey, whoa. That was pure brilliance.

Despite being terrified of moths and all other insects, this was an awesome poem.

Love.
Courts.
Hollow.

Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?
