Caused by you

Caused by you, not me. 

I now no longer fear the darkness of 

the night as I always had before, for 

the nightmares that I had lived have 

all now but ceased since I closed 

and locked the door, ever since I woke 

up and I asked you now to leave, the 

bitter cold has now lifted, causing me 

to breath, knowing now after all these 

many years in a blindness of which I 

can now see, along with all the pain of 

sorrow and regret with a deep never 

ending sadness was always caused 

by you, not me.
