Consequences
by Cirrus Kain

It's all my fault
I think
When the blow comes
If I had kept
My mouth shut
If I was only better
If I was maybe perfect
She wouldn't want
To hurt me
But...
I remain strong
Defeated, but defiant
And this part
Is the part of me
That doesn't let me cry
The part that thinks
Maybe she'll stop
If it doesn't get to me
I know though
That nothing will make
Her stop

Because I'm not perfect
Because it's all my fault
