And she is not quite sure
Why she does it to herself again.

Isolationism is an art form.

A letter full of
Past regrets and future hopes
Provides fuel for the fire
And comes with no response.

It seems as though
Everyone is looking
For something to have faith in
A scapegoat for heartache
Heaven forbid  
One of us take the blame.

So we look for ways
To solve all problems passively
But this time I do not think
A simple verse will suffice.

And I am not quite sure
Why I do it to myself again.

I really love this poem, you did a good job on the title too.
I can't pick a favorite stanza or line, they all get the feeling across well and blend perfectly.
Thank you for sharing, this is going in my library.

We were meant to live for so much more have we lost ourselves?
Maybe redemption has stories to tell maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.
