Shame

I see every face that missed my way

every scar I couldn’t bear

I hear every word – mute
Bittersweet, unfulfilled memories

 

I wondered why

I stashed that lack inside

Now I know why
I stashed that crack inside

 

I can’t stop
staring at the reflection

you designed
Dark facial features
reveal the shame

 

Desires scream in my mind
Instead I trusted your lifetime lies

Husband, children, house, two cars
Art rejected, true love

too far.
 

I feel betrayed
Time is running out
So much left to say
So much left to crave

I feel betrayed
Time is running out
So much left to say
So much left to crave

 

I see all the things I have gone through
All the things you made me bear
I see through you

I can’t stop

staring at the reflection

you designed.
Dark facial features
reveal the shame.

 

Desires scream in my mind
Instead I trusted their lifetime lies

Husband, children, house, two cars
Art rejected, true love
too far.

 

I feel betrayed
Time is running out
So much left to say
so much left to crave

I feel betrayed
Time is running out
So much left to say
so much left to crave

 

Time
Time
Time

Is running out
Is running out
Is running out
Is running out
 

It’s too late for you
you are a shame

It’s too late for you
