I sat alone with them all
my greatest fear realized
alone
I would’ve been
less alone
if I’d stayed
home alone
brokenhearted
is it
my fault
no fault
his fault
her fault
their fault
when everyone’s
at fault
who’s to blame?
I would say
our fault
but there seems to be
no our
is it no one’s fault?
I’ll take the blame
sometimes it’s easier to be
perceived as
the one wronging others
rather than convincing others
you’re the one wronged
if it keeps the peace
then
it’s my fault
(does this make me a doormat?)
