Who do I blame

For this incessant pain?

Hasty he who the fire lit?

Or suspicious she who fanned it?
Those fair weather friends who enjoyed it?

Or idiotic I who let it?

 

Yes, he in his anger

ignited the fire...

She, in her jealousy

Added fuel to it...

They all stood by to watch the fun...

While I to cinders did burn...

 

Scarred and singed, so badly bruised

I nurse my wounds in silent solitude  ...

Why did I let him take me for granted?

Was it martyrdom that I wanted?
Was it peace that I did seek?
Is that why I became so meek?

 

Today I'm neither here nor there

 Hanging somewhere mid - air

Now an endless torrent of tears

With regret I remember those wasted years...

Futile it is now asking why

When I just let life pass me by...

 

Why oh Why?
