Like a Moth to a Flame

I was at my darkest,  you saw my light.

The closer you came,  my lumens grew bright.

I was flailing, spinning in a cyclone.

Your fingers plucked me out and brought me home.

I was walking in-place against a wall

Your kindness was a welcome pivot-call.

Without trespassing you probed and explored

An angel sent from heaven, thank you Lord.

I set up roadblocks, landmines, and decoys

You marched through and didn't fall for my ploys.

You refused to leave, like a moth to a flame

I' m still not sure what you saw, glad you came.

You tore me down mentally, then rebuilt.

Then relit my flame without any guilt­.
