Not My Fault

I refuse to say I'm sorry,
for I've done nothing wrong.
It isn't completely my fault
that our love's no longer strong.

Of course I want you back.
I want you in my arms.
But I refuse to take the blame
for all the harm.

I realized that I caused some pain,
but I didn't cause it all.
It isn't completely my fault
that our love has began to fall.

I'll admit that I messed up,
that I was not completely true.
But I think that part of the blame
should be laid on you.

I will be faithful this time,
I will love only you.
But it wasn't completely my fault.
And you know that's the truth.

I entered this because I still can't decide whether my feelings are love or hatred.

    Hey this was a good poem I'm glad to see people n ot taking all the blame for situations. If a person did cheat on a person then their was obviously a good reason to do it, if you're not truly with who you're with, and that person truly loves you then they should be working a lot harder to satisfy you. Good write.
