Is it my fault That you cannot Follow me into The darkest rooms
Failing to see The click clacking Of death tracking Innocence
Failing to feel Parallels of pain Emotions you canβt name
Am I to blame Because I softened my words To be heard Whispered Instead of yelling Smiled and joked Instead of crying
So you kept lying To yourself Measuring value As an integer of wealth Check marked Your vacant heart Filling infinity With nothing
Is it my fault Because I did not argue harder For the sane way Did not strain Enough to say Please stay With me And our shared humanity
Now your boots Sound of conformity A terrible drum Poking me And I can see Where this beat Leads But you will not Believe me
So when you reach for The cold and deadly knife Stuck in the heart of humanity To pull it out And bleed out When you finally see and agree Will you blame or forget me
