Please Don’t Blame Yourself

Please don’t blame yourself

In this my final hour

Those with blame to bare

Have taken to much power

Those who’ve only lost

I wish I could give more

But what is left is hollow

And you weren’t there before

Please don’t blame yourself

Those that need a reason

You reveled in my bounty

And darkened all my seasons

But I am sure you’ll use me

Just this one last time

Now that I have taken

The last of what is mine

Please don’t blame yourself

That I was alone tonight

That you did not ask me more

Or beg me just to fight

And in the coming silence

Of a life placed on a shelf

I wish I would have told me

Please don’t blame yourself.
