Not So Blameless
As I look at the shattered glass
On the floor
With the blood dripping off of it
All i can think of
Is the pain
The pain at least lets me know
That i am alive
The shattered glass like my shattered heart
Cannot just be put back together again
Even though I try
I have made it myself the way it is
This pain I inflict on myself over and over again
Because I can't stand that look of disappointment on others faces
One more time I can't take
So i sabotage what i have
And i shatter my heart once again
Because if i hurt myself
Then they don't have the chance to hurt me
I only have myself to blame
A blame i only have seen now
This is not how it is going to be
I am not going to run away
I can't take this pain
Not anymore
Not one more time
These walls around my heart
Keep getting higher and higher
No more not for him
He would be the one that i take a chance on
If i was ever given another chance
I would give it my all
I will not hurt me or anyone anymore
Not because im a scared little girl
That expects everyone to be like the last
The one that took everything and threw it away
Not anymore
Im given it a shot
Just one more time
Because i know one thing for sure
He is worth it
