It's All Your Fault

** by kathrynn small & Jana Savoie

look into my eyes
see the pain?
it's your fault

listen to my voice
hear the pain?
it's your fault

lick my salty tears
taste the pain?
it's your fault

run your fingers over the scars
feel the pain?
it's your fault

inhale my burning flesh
smell the pain?
it's your fault

look down at my arms
see the pain?
it's your fault

can you see my self-inflicted attempts to drown out the hurt?
-pay attention

can you hear the fractured beat of my wounded heart?
-pay attention

can you feel the awful sting of the careless, hurtful words?
it's like pouring salt into a freshly opened gash

pay close attention

know the pain

it's entirely your fault
