Underneath

I know I'm the problem 
My fractured thoughts remind me constantly 
My love 
I've got the bullet
But I never wanted the gun

I think I fall in love everyday 
Strangers on the street I'll meet someday
I think I love them all
But I never intend to fall

I know I'm not the problem
His actions show me consistently 
I'm stuck in distain
He handed me the gun
After unloading the bullets at my feet
