It's All My Fault

 

 

 

The jealousy inside me

It’s all my fault

It is just that

I don’t understand this

 

You and I … Us

It seems so easy

Yet love is not

I feel so silly

 

This pain within me

It’s my fault always

You were simply being

Kind, sweet, gently, friendly

 

It’s not your fault

Or maybe it is

I mean you knew

What you were saying

 

Making me fall deeply

With your enduring smile

With your sweet manner

With your loving words

 

It’s my fault completely

I misunderstood your words

I took it differently

I fell in love

 

How could you know

That the words spoken

Loving you tenderly sweetheart

Would make me fall

 

Silly girl I guess

That’s what I’ve been

Falling in love deeply

With sweet, caring words

 

How painful the realization

You’ve heard the song

Love’s one way street

Today I’m just another

 

I’m curious, I wonder

Is it a game

Is it a bet

How many can I

 

I think its me

You said nice things

I read too much

Into your tender thoughts

 

Pain in my heart

That’s what I have

But do you care

There is no answer

 

I want to stop

Loving you … truly, deeply

But my heart doesn’t

Understand my reasonable mind

 

Even tearing my heart

Out of my chest

Would not stop me

From loving you always

 

When its about love

Thoughts can be exhausting

The heart and mind

Can play funny games

 

Trying to sort out

My thoughts and feelings

So confusing right now

Thousands of miles away

 

That doesn’t stop me …

Doesn’t keep my heart

From falling in love

Or breaking completely apart

 

The truth is this  

I am in love

And the jealousy within

It's all my fault

This is just perfect, I love this poem, how many times has something like this happened? many, especially when someone is interpreted wrong. I cn relate to this, we love to be in love and just the slightest hint can put us in this type of situation, that is how I read this, or maybe you are talking to your muse, either way, you have fallen in love. Great write, your emotions are put right out there, I like this stanza the most.

How could you know
That the words spoken
Loving you tenderly sweetheart
Would make me fall
