The Moth And The Flame

When you meet someone you fear will wreck your heart

The Moth and the Flame

 

I do not think you know how deeply

You have intruded into my soul

It is my fault

I knew you were dangerous

I should not have invited you here

Because you care so completely

It is easy to lose track of where I am

I know you understand

How could you not

But how could I let it go this far?

 

I’ve been a fool

Like all the rest

Irresistibly drawn to your light

When I should have listened to my past

I am not afraid of what you will do to me now

I am more afraid of what I will do to myself

After you’re gone

Yes, we can be our own worse enemy when it comes to love. I have known people completely destroyed by it, not prepared to risk it again. Love the title. The moth is always drawn to the flame. Like magnetic attraction.

The brightest flames are the most compelling, and the most likely to immolate those who wander near. I always enjoy hearing your thoughts!

I went through a stage like this for twenty years, sabotaging relationships because of the expectations
of getting wrecked, and I turned away some very promising loves.

I wish I could say it was me sabotaging the relationship. He was the dangerous one. And he absolutely destroyed me. It took years before I realized that maybe... I dodged a bullet.
