You don't get to blame me.

For everyone who is constantly blaming themselves and questioning what they did wrong and if only they had done this or that differently, then maybe, things would have been different.
But I doubt that very much.
I have blamed myself enough I have beat myself up over it all. I accept responsibility for my part. But it never should have happened. I allowed it to happen that's a given. I was naive and trusting that I could give myself to someone and that they would take good care of that. Because that is what they led me to believe. Brainwashed me into believing.
He does not get to blame me. No way.

You don't get to blame me.
It was you who lied, not I.
You don't get to blame me.
Your words were empty, not mine.
You don't get to blame me.
It is you who were disrespectful, not I.
You don't get to blame me.
It was you was secretive and evasive, not I.
You don't get to blame me.
You set up expectations, not I.
You don't get to blame me.
If I was insecure doubtful and needy,
it was because you planted those seeds.
You don't get to blame me.
If I became aggressive
it was out of frustration that
nothing you ever said or did,
even made any sense.
You don't get to blame me.
I have done enough of that already.
You don't get to blame me.
Which one of us is now depleted and damaged and scarred for life.
You don't get to blame me.
By now the whole world can see where the blame truly lies.
I sure can.
No.
You don't get to blame me.
