You shouldn’t blame
When you read this note
It wasn’t your fault to begin with.
Sure you’re my best friend
But you also had a life to live
And shouldn’t have to be bothered by my
Petty Problems
After all I can handle myself
Get through this depression on my own
So even as you read this
Though some unreadable
Because of the blood that covers it
You should know that
It wasn’t your fault
That you never wanted to let me vent
That You saw all the sighs when no one else did
Yet still Chose not to do anything.
Besides I’m happy this way
Lying on the floor as a puddle
So you shouldn’t blame your self

This is my second post, first poem. It's kind of up front, but I still hope you enjoy it

&quot;And when I&#039;m gone, just carry on, don&#039;t mourn<br /> Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice<br /> Just know that I&#039;m looking down on you smiling<br /> And I didn&#039;t feel a thing, So baby don&#039;t feel my pain<br /> Just smile back&quot;-Eminem

Nice work.  As someone who used to feel like that, this is a beautiful portrait of what happens all too often.

Thank you. This one also took me a long time just to make sure that everything was worded right, I wanted it to have a powerful impact. And I don't usally do the self pity boyfriend/girlfriend thing, it's not really my style.

Woah, this was powerful! At first, I was like, is this one of those "It's not your fault he/she broke up with you" poems? And when I read it, it totally blew me away! Great job!

&hearts; I&#039;ve made mistakes in my life. i&#039;ve let people take advantage of me, and i accepted way less than i deserve. But, i&#039;ve learned from my bad choices, and even though there are some things i can never get back and people who will never be sorry. i&#039;ll know better next time and i wont settle for anything less than i deserve. &hearts;
