three word cutouts on a flat surface

Don’t Put the Blame on Me by walking shadow poetry.

The boundary of your vision is the boundary of your manifestation,
How far you see defines your destination.
Every man’s size is shaped by his estimation,
Yet all you do is put the blame on me, without hesitation.

You think I’m the one who walked away,
That I left you wounded, with nothing to say.
You believe I spread the negativity wide,
That I was afraid, and I ran to hide.

But you don’t see the battles I fought,
The nights I cried, the strength I sought.
I tried to defend you before my family’s eyes,
Faced judgment and whispers, and endless lies.

I tried to tell the world to let us be,
To see the love that once grew between you and me.
I begged friends to stop their cruel conversation,
Yet all you do is place me in condemnation.

I wish I had the power to rewrite our fate,
To change the timing before it was too late.
I didn’t plan for us to stumble and fall,
Yet here I am, bearing the weight of it all.

I’m trying to fight, though my strength runs thin,
Trying to forgive myself from within.
But the thought of the child I may never hold,
Leaves a hollow ache, an emptiness untold.

If life were a phone, I’d reset,
Erase the regrets, the pain, and debt.
But life isn’t that simple, no easy restart,
Just a man with guilt and a broken heart.

I’m sorry for what I did to you,
For the dreams we shattered, the plans we withdrew.
I’m sorry we became parents before we were ready,
When life felt fragile instead of steady.

One day, if fate allows us to meet,
I’ll apologize fully, with words complete.
I’ll try to mend what’s been torn apart,
But don’t put all the blame on my heart.

We both made choices that brought us here,
Through love, confusion, joy, and fear.
Let’s face the truth, the hurt, and the pain,
And find a way to start again.
