It takes two

You break me down,
In the worst possible way,
And I'm left thinking,
That it's all my fault.

It takes two,
To burn this quickly,
To fight this war,
It's not just me.

The emptiness is addictive,
I'm no worse than an alcoholic,
Because I thrive on pain,
And broken memories and my broken heart.

You can blame this all on me,
It can't hurt another time, right?
All I have is apologies,
That can't leave my tounge.

You can play victim all you like,
But that soul-crushing amount,
Of guilt that you ignore,
Will crush you like it did to me.

I don't want it to be this way,
It's not my choice,
But I'm not the one who's going to break you,
Because your biggest enemy is yourself.
