Shamed----By---The---Shore
SHAMED BY THE SHORE
As a child I felt patently pure
Jesus cleansed my unrighteous soul
As an adult I’ve now become unsure
Because life and love have taken their toll
Admiration is colored red
Joy is colored blue
At least that’s what someone said
And I say love is colored you
One evening you and I sat near a Tiki torch
I had a foreboding feeling that made me awesomely sad
You remained too quiet as we sat on your porch
Now that night will always remind me of what we once had
And so upon that porch was a torch and a pair
A pair that would soon be nevermore
You disagreed when I deemed that unfair
But your retort was “loving you is too much of a chore”
Your woeful words were ones I was made to endure
Because I had done so many things that were illegal
You became a gull free to soar by the shore
While you left me a bloody and flightless eagle
