Cried, Lied, Shame and Blame

I’ve cried

I’ve lied

I’ve been ashamed

And I have blamed

I’m not perfect

I’m not what you expect

I have secrets

They make me sleepless

I’m scared

But you don’t care

You think you know me

But I disagree

I’ve cried

I’ve lied

I’ve been ashamed

And I have blamed

I set a fire

Watched it like a pyre

It grew like a liar

Growing higher and higher

The tears I’ve shed

Now are red

Don’t ask me why

Look to my eye

One to blame

Just one name

My reflection

The complexion

I’ve cried

I’ve lied

I’ve been ashamed

And I have blamed
