Moth by Michael Heath

I am a moth and you are the light, 
I think about you day and night. 
I am starting to realize that there is a glass, 
This not-seeable barrier I cannot pass. 
Just being there, you keep me warm, 
But now I realize, I am just part of a swarm. 
The same path every night I repetitively flew, 
So badly, I want to be next to you.
