I Am Ashamed

Shame and Love

By Dawson HartmanPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

In the beginning, there was passion and clear love.

There were promises. There was guilt for ignoring

the one above. There was a future pain thereof.

There was relief in the embodiment of stress.

Her feelings for I were as beautiful as her tress

of hair. Who would guess there would be fall of

darkness.

Now there is her family's Neglection. Now

there is I staring at my reflection. Now I must

deal with making correction.

Now I’m on my knees in prayer. While the evil

is in its lair. Now I am on my knees in hope that

her emotions on the rope are within range of grope.

Yes I’m ashamed of myself for the past. Now I must

Get down as I’ve maimed my soul. I must leave a prayer

to fix something nobody else would Dare.

I am ashamed of myself and I can only blame myself.

I need to solve myself but I will have to re involve myself.

I want to heal myself but I feel the only way is to kneel.

I must hope for the best even down this steep slope.

Even if it will hurt me I must wipe off all this dirt

I must throw my arms around the one I love and

Shove my shame away as if it is lame.
