the flames

The pain of caring too much
knowing I will be hurt
but still hurling myself
headlong into the flames
still mystifies me...
Why do I let myself?
What shell of understanding is
penetrated by this?
I see clearly enough as it is...
And still I go as a moth to
the flame, my heart to be
burned black to cover the 
blueness of these bruises
Am I really trying to hide something?
