Rating: 2.7


I blame myself
(yes me...me entirely)

for falling
in love

with you
(what else could I do?)

It wasn't as if
I had a choice

I just went and fell
blatantly in love with you

without
a second thought

for myself.

Could have got
badly mauled

or given everything
(and got nothing at all)

but then
the blame

rests
entirely on you

for falling in love with
...me too!

What a beauty is this poem! When one falls in love and trapped in its sweetness and heartache, he/she feels there is no way he can come out of it! He blames himself for it! (Part-1)

(Part-2) -Is he only to blame himself for it? Is his lover blameless? No, blame turns on her as she has made the mistake of falling in love!

I like this poem about being lucky in love! There are never any guarantees and this is a sweet reminder that there's no reward without a risk.
