Who am I to Blame

Location

I'm broken

Are the words that roll of my tongue as I try to speak my name

Knowing the glass frame surrounding my heart is broken, but who am I to blame

Who am I to blame for the shattered storm of glass that not only reached my mind, but my heart and onto my flesh

Untouched skin being torn just so I can feel something fresh

Something new, something that will stop bleeding, something that'll stop screaming memories because I know

I know that it'll scar over

It gets colder as I stand alone and I begin to believe that I can trust noone

I haven't even begun to let someone in and already I know it's done

All I do is lust for someone to trust

And when they come they go leaving me as a piece of jewelery that's begun to rust

As soon as they see that I, am broken

Start me off with a bit of serenity as I breathlessly pray for us to have some chemistry

Believing that someone welcomed me with open doors

Just to see those doors never heard me knock

Getting me to explore to see those doors were walls

So I stay stuck outside in the cold where my only comfort is the rain

I stand in the rain not trying to find an umbrella, not trying to find shelter, but I begin to just sit in the rain as I notice the sky is the only place with a welcoming matt to let me enter to tell me I'm not alone

Blue sky and bright sun covered in dark clouds cry with me to tell me I'm not alone

But who am I to blame

Who am I to blame for everyone leaving while I was so alone

Who am I to blame to not trust anyone because anyone I begin to trust begin to run

Who am I to blame for the scars that reach my mind, heart, and body 

Who am I to blame for the silent cries that echo in the rain

Who am I to blame for the screams that run through my mind

Who am I to blame for the constant pain

Who am I to blame for being alone and

WHO AM I

Who am I to blame

Who am I to blame

Who am I to blame

That, I,

Am broken.
