This a fairly old poem, i am still kind of working with it, any ideas are welcome, thanks

Walking under the moonlight
Across the silver moonlit grass,
I gaze to the stars and think of you,
I take a drag of my cigarette and I miss you,

As I look at my feet a tear rools down my cheek,
I take another drag and think this is my fault,
The cold night sends chills down my spine,
Reminiscent of your harsh words and painful looks,

I look to the sky to find our star,
I find it for a moment then it is gone,
I take another drag and think of you,
Just like the star, here one minute gone the next,

As I walk back to my house I begin to cry,
I take my last drag and have a moonlit revelation,
Maybe it was never my fault,          
The problem was never me it was you,

Blowing smoke out of my nose I look at the stars once more,
I flick my smoke into the garden and open the door,
Glancing at it burning brings back memories,
Looking at our star, I close the door and miss you,

I make my way down the front hall,
Throwing your coat in the closet, I cry,
I slowly stumble out of my shoes,
Going up stairs I glance at the door and hope for you,

While I crawl into bed I notice you,
Your picture is hanging above my head,
As I begin to cry I notice a slant of moonlight on the floor,
Staring at it I realize it was never my fault

Gin..knowing it isn't your fault helps a bit..but the pain of absence is still there.  The poem is fine, the imagery vivid.  Correct a couple of typos and leave it alone.  Nice job.  Hardrock

I think only accepting what is ours is the key, it helps us realize we are not to blame for everything. The pain of missing someone though is still profound. A nice job!! Hope our doing ok..Deb1
