Shame - by Joe Clune

On a warm spring day,
my thoughts went astray.

I thought of a girl
with bright yellow curls.

She seemed to be sad
over love gone bad.

"Don't cry," I pleaded,
"we all have needed."

But she looked away
at the waning day.

I thought who could shame
such a lovely dame?

She let out a sigh
as the light left the sky.

Ne'er again she came,
she made me ashamed.

Why can't you just see:
who hurt her was me.
