scarlet shame

Burning shame

Feel the pain

A fiery flame

Burns inside out

Drives him insane

She wears the mark

A constant spark

That reminds her of

Her forbidden love

She learns to endure

She learns to be strong

He remains weak

With something wrong

He needs to bring it into the light

He needs to bring it into their sight

But still he’s frozen with fright,

The guilty conscience takes its bite

He must get past the trite

And bring his shame into the light.
