Who should I blame?
When I think, when I write
Should I start with the name?
In my heart I am hurt
And the guilty are the same
Yet, everyone is innocent
They are friends as they claim
Then who should I blame?!

When you act that you love
And to win is your aim
It's a shame! It's a shame!
I'm a human not a game
I was dumb, I was fool with an F
I believe, I forgive
I'm the one to blame.
I'm the one to blame.

There’s a window
that gives you a glimpse to my soul
heavily-framed
the sides broken off
because the devil
tried to break in
and steal my innocence
and now my blinds are
always drawn down

Laughter fills the air,
This night filled with stars,
A rainbow 'round the moon,
Noticed only by me,
A terrible omen indeed.

Tiredness plagues the body and mind,
So young, so naive,
Taken alone, nothing done,
Then sleep, and in such came chaos,
With awakening of the body came awakening of the mind,
Confusion, then understanding,
Dread fills the heart,
Then true chaos follows,
The weak are the used,
The guilty are punished,
But so, too, are the innocent.

"i think i'm over you. i still imagine telling you everything, but without an undercurrent of romantic love. in my mind's eye, innocent smiles replace the longing stares. hugs replace the imagined romance. honesty replaces the moments when my tongue was tucked away within my palm.
sometimes my mind sings a sad song, which sends chills through my body and cracks my heart in the right places. the pain seeps through, and it hurts to breathe.
yet as my eyes succumb to the quiet pull of slumber, i see the light. when i wake up the next morning, my mind is clear, and my heart is free."
