I can't blame you for this heart
of mine that can't

seem to heal

It just breaks and breaks and breaks

over and
over

again.

I can't blame you for my sadness
the kind

that overwhelms me

over and
over

again.

I can't blame you for my desperate
attempt to get you to listen

to me. to love me back

over and
over

again.

You owe me nothing.

you don't owe me happiness, love.
your attention

It's a hard idea
to grasp.
The knowledge that this void in
me will not be fixed by

You.

how do I get myself to understand
that I can only help

Myself,
when all I want is to be helped by

You.
