Carrying The Burden.

It is back.
I can hear it.
Falling on the roof.
And on to the ground.
Falling and I can't help her now.

She falling.
And hurting every step of the way.
And it is all my fault.
I take the blame.
It is my fault.
Nothing else to say.

I can hear it.
Hear the Rain.
Falling from the Skye.
No not falling from.
Falling because.

If only I would of kept my mouth shut.
If only I would of hung up the phone.
Before it was to late.
But I didn't.
And everyone knows it.
It is all my fault.
I take the blame.
It is my fault.
Nothing else to say.

Just as I thought.
Life was finally heating up.....
It all came crashing down.
But not how I wanted it to.
If it would only of crashed down on me.
Not on everyone else.
We would not be in this mess.

And I will always know.
And always carry the burden.
Of what I did.
That hurt the one I love the most.
And no not my mother.
Nor my father.
But my sister.
It is all my fault.
I take the blame.
It is my fault.
Nothing else to say.

Oh, no baby no

It is not your fault, I don't even know what your tring to take the blame for. It's not your fault me and Dad are having problems, that is my fault, I sould have told him about... you know who... and there is nothing that you have done to caus me any pain what so ever, I hate that you think its your fault, and please don't think its your fault, I don't see how it could be, this battle, my battle, it not yours to fight. you have your own battles you have to face, don't try to take the blame for my screw ups... I love you to death and would do any thing for you, please see that it is not your fault... ~Rain~
