Lisa Fraser Poet Rhyme

My Own Worst Enemy

Yesterday, I had everything,
The perfect house, the perfect ring
But I should have known 
that you would go and leave me all alone
Fool me once, shame on you
You made me think that you’d be true
Fool me twice, shame on me
Because you’re the same  you will always be

I can’t blame anybody else, 
because I did it to myself
It’s my fault for letting you in
when I know where you’ve been
I can’t blame others for my tragedy
because I am my own worst enemy

I wish I never knew your name
But really I guess I’m to blame
For thinking that you’d ever change
I’m so good at self-sabotage
I do it all the time
Crazy is my camouflage.
Of the girl I left behind

I can’t blame anybody else, 
because I did it to myself
It’s my fault for letting you in
 when I know where you’ve been
I can’t blame others for my tragedy
because I am my own worst enemy

And then you strayed “just because” 
And you made life worse than it ever was 
Now I’m overguessing and overstressing
I should have run
I should have hid
After all the  you did
It was just as everyone predicted, 
But It doesn’t hurt less just because its self inflicted

I can’t blame anybody else, 
because I did it to myself
It’s my fault for letting you in
when I know where you’ve been
I can’t blame others for my tragedy
because I am my own worst enemy
