Eve Doesn't Live Here

We're way past forgiveness now,
we left it behind somewhere around
bitterness and recriminations.

I never had high expectations.
You never had lofty ideals and
I may have been deluded, but
I knew you better than you think.
I know that you blame me and
expect that I blame you.

I blame you for everything,
I lay all this at your feet.
Nothing here is not your fault.
I offered you salvation,
and you perverted it
because you had lost your faith.

Saw a damning apple
where there was only
a hand to hold.

You couldn't kill my faith, though,
and I don't need you to feel sorry,
though a sorry for the mistaken
identity would have been nice.

I'm not Eve and I never wanted
to destroy you.

You did that all by yourself.
