REFLECTIONS © 2011
I feel your shame as my own,
For I know well that weight on the chest,
I too betrayed my heart,
In the moment it needed respect the most.
At the worst time, when silence cried out,
I turned a deaf ear to its scream,
And now, in this never-ending shadow,
I carry the burden of what was said.
But your pain, a mirror of mine,
Binds us in the same uncertain fate,
And perhaps, amidst this fog,
We can find a path closer.
Shame is heavy, but it is ours,
And together, who knows, it may become lighter.
