Shame
you left me to the nightmares of a dark room in an attic.
you left me to the shadows of a ghost I could not see.
you left me there to shiver and to crouch in silent places
when all the world I d ever known had gone away from me.
you left me with a memory and the image of your face.
you left me with the fear of death that I could not erase.
you left me when I needed you when I was only three
when all the world I d ever known had gone away from me.
you left me without warning without telling me good-bye.
you left me without saying that you loved me when I cried.
you left me in the shadows of a child I could not find
when all the world I d ever known had left me far behind.
you left me for a shot of booze a line of coke but more
you left me in the dark of night when I was only four.
you left me by myself to find a way to stop the fear,
when all I ever wanted was for you to be so near.
and now I m standing oh so tall so daring and so proud
that I have made myself a world where you are not allowed.
a world that is free of pain where little children play
against the dark room shadows of a ghost I cannot name."
