Polluted Heart

Leaves of regret blow past my dragging feet
as I stroll with sorrow
through an autumn's evening breeze,
with cold rain slapping me in the face.

I know I must keep walking
even though I'm heading
in the wrong direction of you,
because I was always getting in your way
and getting you tangled inside
the web of my polluted heart.

I know I let you down,
and it's not your fault for giving up on me.
I know this rain won't wash away the pain
that is silently screaming inside of me.

I do not blame you for taking your love
in the opposite direction of me.
