My Fault, I know

Hello! This poem was done for a contest. I never submitted it, however, so here it is.

***

He said not to worry

She said it's not a big deal

They all claim innocence for me

But I ask you how is it not my fault

He grins and it's so so fake I can tell

She only turns and gives me that reassuring smile I'm not a kid I can take it

They rub me on the shoulders and whisper it's okay it's okay

But I know that they really don't think that way it's so obvious

He's a liar I can tell but we're still friends I guess

She's friends with him and she's so kind it's disgusting

They have their own little clique I'm not a part of yet they claim friendship?

Even though they're so nice all of them I still look down on them blame me I don't care

She frowns a little crease between her eyes

His mouth moves to tell me he's sorry but we can't be friends

They all turn their backs and whisper

I knew this day would come I knew it I knew it what's the point though

She turns and smiles that fake fake smile at all her friends

He turns and doesn't let anybody see that little tear don't blame yourself blame me please

They all seem subdued and I can't take it it's my fault I know it is

I never cared before why I do care now when they're gone blame me please
