NO SHAME

 

There is not one heart that knows no shame,

    And its guilt has nowhere to hide

The sorrow! It is always filled with pain,

   And agony – the payoff for its endless pride!

The emptiness of where nothing was before,

   Lies a broken soul shackled by deceit -

Like a wrecked ship that is stuck on a shore,

   But the truth can never be discreet!

 

And then, sadness, I sit all alone . . .

   Broken from all that could have been,

And the regrets of things I did wrong,

   Wondering how this love story will end?

There is not one heart that knows no shame,

   But it’s my own heart I must blame!
