Blame
In one moment, with one look
You make me feel
like the most beautiful woman in the world
In the next, you destroy me
and make me the Nothing I truly am
Why do I turn to you
to define my existence?
What's so special about you
that I give you this power
to hold over me?
You are not responsible for my happiness
And yet you are the cause of my joy
and my pain.
How can I continue on like this?
I know I can survive without you
so why won't I try
to be on my own.
