Not Your Fault

July 14, 2022

It was nice at first
full of love and joy
but it was all fake
it was only a ploy

It hollowed you out
broke you down
held you under
until you drowned

It tried to convince you
that you did this
that you’re to blame
for everything being amiss

You didn’t sign up for this
You didn’t ask for it
It dragged you back every time
you tried to quit

Don’t listen to the lies
stop them, grind them to a halt
and always, always remember
that this is not your fault
