Melted Wax.

You can blame me

for all of your insecurities

That does not change

how you refuse to really see

You can project

your deeply rooted delusion onto me

That does not change

the heinous things you have done to me

You send me vile messages

then have the nerve to say

"Don't reply."

as some odd kind of leverage

Crazy how

a nearly forty year old man can look at me

~

a year old three month long burnt out flame

~

and still believe it is me to blame
