Something I came up with at random. Enjoy!

Like a moth to a flame
I am drawn to you
With your acid-laced strings
Of rejection. 

I've seen what you can do,
The language you speak, 
How it's able to tear someones world
Apart. 

And you watch it crumble,
Crash,
Burn 
To the ground right before your eyes. 

"I don't love you," you say.
Your soulless eyes tell me 
The truth: 

I should have never trusted 
The mamoth-sized butterflies in my stomach
When you kissed me. 

I should have known that, 
No matter what the situation,
The moth always gets burned.

Very interesting, I agree with you. Impressive detail, it makes me think, and I love the words you used to describe your feelings, and thoughts. Great job!

Love this to the max. "I should have known that, no matter what the situation, the moth always gets burned." I just think its so clever.

I really like this, and I can sympathize completely. But know that even though the moth may get burned in that particular situation... The people we're drawn to aren't all like you've described, if that makes any sort of sense. One thing I would suggest would be to keep the stanza line numbers consistent. Like, abc, abc, abc... or abcd, abcd, etc. Overall, it's very emotional and very well written. Well done.
