Blame
by
Sekhem Psikor Strecker
Before this
I was unindebted
I was free but was so apologetic
I was sorry for you and for me
And sorry for them
Yet I realise
These two words:
Not anymore
Don’t blame your unhappiness on me
I ignored it all, so you must too
It’s my fault that I am like this
Not yours at all really
It’s my fault
The only thing you must redeem yourself for
Is trying to capture me
Can you realise the times that I
That I
Loved
At least for a time
Ignorance works
It gives bliss
Almost
For a while
Before this
I was unindebted
I was free but was so apologetic
I was sorry for you and for me
And sorry for them
Yet I realise
These two words:
Not anymore
Don’t blame your misery on me
I ignored it all, so you must too
It’s my fault that you are like that
Not mine at all really
It’s your fault
The only thing you must exchange your soul for
Is trying to imprison me
Can you realise the times that I
That I
Appreciated
At least for a time
Unawareness works
It gives delight
Almost
For a while
