Blame

We were stuck in this endless cycle 
That was ripping us both apart 
My eyes were always filled with tears 
And you were breaking your own heart 
We would fight and come right back 
Like we were addicted to the pain 
But we would forget the hurt, the tears, the ache 
So we could go dancing in the rain 
But after a while you had enough 
You were done with me and the hurt 
I understood but it broke my heart 
It broke me when you left me in the dirt 
I still see you every time I turn around 
And I can’t help bit wish things were still the same 
But I knew it’s wrong for me to pray 
Because in the end. I am the one to blame

i believe in this poem, it almost exactly portrays the ending of my first marriage...
the hurt on both sides, the sadness, and eventually the understanding that we just could not stay
together. I more stubborn than she...didn't give up....she did...and that was a chapter closed so another could open years later.
sent me on a journey with this poem, Evelynn.

This is beautiful, and so gut-wrenchingly emotional. I love how it just flows, too. Fantastic piece!!!!

You know something is good, when it hits you hard. This really touched me and made me feel the pain of a heartbreak. You can feel the hurt emotions just as if you had experienced them.

This speaks to so many of the relationships in my life. " stuck in this endless cycle" . Far too often, even when we see the pattern, we still fight for something we hoped for. ~Jim
