3TC MM21 | Moths Don’t Cry

Welcome to the daily Three Things Challenge.
Use your imagination and creativity using one, two or all three words that may or may not be related. There are no restrictions regarding length, style, or genre, though please keep it family friendly.

Tag your responses with 3TC, #threethingschallenge or TTC, and you can Di’s logo if you wish.

Your three words today are:
LIES
CRIES
FLIES

Your lies so sweet

drew me in like

flies to honey.

Saying the words you knew

I wanted to hear —

a means to an end.

I’d often wondered

if moths cry as they flutter

eagerly into their fiery demise.

And now, I know.

    I wonder why they do it? Is it the light that attracts them, or the warmth of the flame?
    Maybe they should be called an Icarus rather than moth. Some of them are so beautiful.
    Thanks for joining in.

      I think it’s the same reason that some of us like the bad boys. We know what will likely happen, but we do it anyway. That’s kind of a weird comparison but, it’s 5:30am here. :-)
