It’s simple to sit here staring out the window
No expression, no emotion 
Blaming myself for every step I took in the direction that would bring me closer to you 
Every breath I took while my lips were pressed against yours was ecstasy 
The very essence of you lingered on me like a lasting shot of whiskey 
I never wanted it to end 
I hoped for the day that you would come to me with the realization that we were it 
I was enough 
But here I sit, searching for the meaning behind your existence in my life 
I should have never let you in 
I should have never given life to a lie 
I don’t want to place blame on myself anymore 
It’s not fair to take responsibility for this superficial love we created 
I will admit I fell into you not knowing if someone would be there to catch me in the end 
But every look you gave me set my soul on fire, and every word you spoke was perfect 
You made me believe your intentions were good 
You made me believe we had a chance 
You made me believe in the raw nature that is love 
I make no apologies for the mess you had a hand in creating 
I’m not only to blame.
