Poem: Who Is to Blame Here

I’ve got a list of questions I wanna ask you

But instead of asking you these questions

I try to answer them myself

I try to make my answers different

But every time I do that 

They seem to be the same 

I try to justify your actions

Try to figure out where I went wrong

Blame myself for your departure

But it’s not me I should be blaming

It is you who is responsible 

For the end of this union

Instead of rewriting our story

You simply chose to abandon it

Because that was the easiest thing 

For someone like you to do
