Maddie Takes the Blame

All by myself, alone, I softly chant your name, Own up for our defunct weeping bond and I take the blame. It was our love very pure and not lusty lure, Unsure, kaput and insecure I thirstily quest for love’s cure…… Will not otieously shed another vainful tear But in earnest long for you my Dear to be near. Messed up our bond with blatant, glaring guilt & shattered our own heart, Guess that’s the only reason we in our lives drifted apart. Cannot truly imagine that I let you go, But for us to be happy I did so, I own up and take the blame, To silently blow off our love’s flame….. My heart I am sure you did not know, Was tattered and torn from the time I let you go, Ours was a bond carefree and Boehme, I Own up for our broken weeping bond and take the blame. I wish our bonds could have fondly stayed on, Woven intertwined with emotions, enameled with love’s lacquerers firmly bound. But I still take the blame, And not dampen loves flickering flame with a sense of shame…… Now that my love, its end seems so near, Sense its icy claws draw up and stealthy steps I hear, I own up and take the blame…………… And fling my heart’s longings up above without aim again and again…till our laden guilt we overcame….
