is it my fault?

you know what?
i did it.
i killed myself.
i dragged my own soul into hell
maybe
(only maybe)

i can't blame the sound
of your voice
(the one you make
when you're feeling tempestuous)
for breaking
all of my bones

because maybe
(only maybe)
i did it myself
and to myself.

i swear i'm still
mad at you
because you helped.
you're also guilty
for letting me do all those
bad things to myself

i swear i'm still
mad at you
but it's raining outside
and i'll let you in
because i want you safe
tonight

even though
it'll turn your blood white

i'm mad at you
and i've made myself a fool
too many times.
so today i'll let you in
to save you from
the cold air outside

and
it'll be the last time

maybe.
