Why blame me
for all that is going wrong?
Why blame me?
I don't even know that song.

Why blame me
for someone else's pain and strife?
Why blame me,
and try to ruin my whole life?

Why blame me?
I try hard to make things right.
Why blame me?
I do my best not to fight.

Why blame me?
You don't think I even care.
Why blame me?
I swore to him I'd always be there.

Why blame me?
You think I can't see his pain?
Why blame me?
At least with me his cries aren't in vain.

Why blame me
for things that he chooses to do?
Why blame me
for all the problems that I help him through?

Why blame me
when you know that he loves me to death?
Why blame me?
You know I'd give him my very last breath.

Why blame me
for something I wish I could end?
Why blame me?
You're supposed to be OUR friends.

~Kristi Lynn

I wrote this poem for my ex-boyfriend's friends, who won't let us talk or anything, and who blame me for all the problems he had after our breakup.  Some friends, huh?  They wouldn't even listen to what he had to say about it...

I don't think friends are the correct description of these people.....how about
acquaintances???
Don't understand why some people always have to lay blame.  Makes them feel good I suppose.
Another good poem Angel6917!   6917 ??????

Danny~
Ok, they're his friends, but they were supposedly mine, too.  Gee, I guess I found that out the hard way, didn't I??

As for the 6917 part of my screen name, it's because Angel was already taken, so I had to embellish it a little.  My real friends who were with me when I made up the name have an obsession with the number 69, so they had me use that, and I'm 17, so I used that...

Guys can be cruel. Especially when they're young and immature. Don't forget. Woman mature a lot faster than men or in they're case boys. When they blame you for something, ask yourself a question. "Who cares what they say." Ignore them. I know it's hard but once you learn that, your on top of everything. Don't fight back or spend your nights thinking of something to say. Just ignore them.

Try to remember this:
"Sticks and stones
Are hard on bones
Aimed with angry art
Words can sting
Like anything
But silence
Breaks the heart"

Trevor:

Thanks for your support, sweetie!  I'll start off by saying that my ex is 3 years older than me, but I guess I still matured faster than him, huh?  I'm glad to see that some people care about how this whole situation is affecting me, too, and not just him.
