Blame

When did you feel the need to distance me,
from everything- everything you saw,
everything you felt I wasn't worthy of?

The words " I don't blame you" are commonly said,
well...I can tell you right now that I blame you.

I blame you for every bruise you left on my otherwise clear skin.

I blame you for every tear I shed when you made me feel worthless.

I blame every bit of anxiety I gained while you were near, on you.

You made me see the awful things that can lurk if you stare into the darkness for too long.

I'm sorry that no one could save you.
