Coin Flip

The light beckons to me
Softly calling me forward
Whispers of delight in my ear

I'm drawn like a moth to the flame
Beauty that just waits to destroy me
And still I must move forward

This thing called love
So much joy, so much pain
Just two sides of the same coin

I flip it again and wait
Which side does it hold for me?
Where am I headed today?

Pleasure or pain, they're both the same
I may think I'm growing wiser
But life won't stop for me

Time fades and the world ages
I don't blink so it won't pass me by
Even in pain, I'll enjoy what I'm given
