The Blame

Oct 8th, 2024

I can feel the stream of tears seared into my face
Like scars left behind
Ones only I can feel
Ones I made after falling
For someone who won't make the leap
Ones I cannot blame you for
As I jumped before ever looking
To see if you'd follow
I cannot blame you
You were never the one to hurt me
I hurt myself
I was blinded by the affection
The craving of your touch
Longing to held
But left with the ghost of an embrace
