The Blame Lies

oh the world keeps on turning

even as my body is yearning

for the ugly art I paint on my skin

each mark a portrait, each one a sin

each one a memory with a sharpened voice

each one a horribly wrong choice

to give into the sorrow, to bow to the pain

so I live my life with all the blame

it's all my fault, no one to blame

but myself for showing my pain

a soul in turmoil, a heart in dispair

a body in danger, a mind in disrepair

all in need of a kindred spirit who cares

all for want of someone who is no longer there.
