I Choose Not To Blame You

I Choose Not to Blame You

in the garden of anguish

where the roses grow wild

i find a thorn you left behind.

it pierces my tender heart

and paints my soul in hues of crimson

but i choose not to blame you

for the storms that sweep the sky

or for the whispers that haunt the night

but in the spaces between your words

i discover a silence that speaks volumes

as the sun sets

on the ocean of our dreams

i dip my quill in the ink of my tears

and write a lullaby

to the memories we shared

i choose not to blame you

for the scorching sands of time

that slippling through the fingers

of our love

no, i choose to blame

the wind that carried them away

in the shadows of my heart

i cradle the echoes of your laughter

and weave a tapestry

of the moments we shared

beneath the moonlit sky

i choose not to blame you

for the labyrinth of emotions

that ensnared us both

instead, i find solace

in the beauty of our tangled paths

as i walk alone

through the garden of my dreams

i still see the thorn

but it's been softened by the petals

of a blooming rose

i choose not to blame you

for the pain we've known

but thank you, instead

for the love we've sown
