My Fault

I saw the marks on your arms today
And after the conversation we had yesterday
I wonder if they are my fault.
When I asked you about them

Unless you really tried.
If I hadn't told you about what I was feeling
I wonder if you still would have hurt yourself this way
But if you care so much for me

Then why do you care so little for yourself
Even when I do ask you to?
