Photos of Shame

When they chip away and they do
They take the nicest piece of you
The piece you are supposed to share
With someone for whom you really care

That special piece the important one
The one for love and not just for fun
Take it away and make it theirs
Show you without it you can't share

The good part of the giving of you
Just ripped away no longer a part
You piece of meat, no fun, no heart,
No love, no spirit, no fight, no one
Will ever understand the pain that comes
Each time they take a piece of you away

At night when all is still they rise within
It seems they always will
The memories of pain
The photos of shame
Living those moments all over again
