I Will Always Blame Myself
When you found me,
I was all alone.
Abandoned,
Yearning,
Hoping.
With your carefree smile
And your whispered promises,
You touched my soul
And pulled me out of the shadows.
With you, I could be myself.
I learned how to laugh.
I let my walls come down.
I told you everything.
But your smile turned into a frown
And your promises became lies
When you decided you'd had enough of me.
You tore me down,
Threw me back into the shadows,
Left without a backwards glance.
Once again, I was abandoned.
But not yearning,
Not hoping.
Nobody would ever love me.
I had been told that many times before,
But it sounded so much worse coming from your lips
And I believed it.
I was broken, cracked, before you came.
You have shattered me into tiny pieces.
And though it is your fault,
I will always blame myself.
