Like A Moth To A Flame Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos

Like A Moth To A Flame



Like a moth to a flame

Myself I have to blame
After declaring"I have severed
Our relation, intolerant to
Her theatrical and self-seeking love game! "
Back to square one, under
The pretext of sympathy, of course,
Buckling under her sight and voice
I acted the same, like a moth to a flame!


Though my siblings and friends
Advised, "A leech, if she has no other intent
Then, inconsiderate, she'll bleed you dry
Why should you call her my dove
'Cause her sentiment is far from love!
Dump her, the problem to solve.
Innocent, no need yourself to absolve! "
Back to square one, under the pretext of
Evading conscience-pang—A fickle—

I acted the same, like a moth to a flame!


Offence blind, proving a fool,
I failed to see the wide room
For her to be unfaithful!
No sooner we got out of bed
Acid to my salary, though to garner it
Back myself I have to bend,
She used to hand it over to
Her indolent boyfriend!
Though I knew
Our love was clinically dead,
My youthful life on bitter love
I was forced to spend!
