SHAME
Published and recorded by The International Library of Poetry 1999 The International Library of Poetry Presents' THE SOUND OF POETRY'
SHAME, SHAME ON ME
SHAME ON ME FOR LOVING YOU
SHAME, SHAME ON YOU
SHAME ON YOU FOR BEING CRUEL
SHAME, YOU HAVE NO SHAME
I'LL TAKE THE BLAME, I'LL TAKE THE BLAME
FOR LETTING YOU TAKE MY HEAD
STEAL MY HEART, YOUR LIES IN BED
TELLING ME, WE WOULD BE
FOREVER FOR ETERNITY
JUST WORDS, EMPTY WORDS
THAT YOU SAID, WORDS I MISREAD
AND THE TEARS THAT I CRIED
WERE FOR NOTHING MORE THAN LIES
SHAME
(Shame was originally written as a song and then submitted as poetry.
You can hear Shame performed by Dawn Maracle live by request)
