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.
