My Walk Of Shame. Poem by Maria Shaw

My worldly possessions packed in a bag
I walked away, I didn't look back,
all my hopes and all my dreams
long lost nostalgic memories.

How heavy is the load
as I walk this path alone
weighed down with regret and pain
I carry this burden of shame.

I reminisce days of bliss
and a smile escapes from saddened lips
a silent tear drop falls
as I walk from the man I adore.

Why was I so stupid
why was I so weak
I had everything I needed
right there at my feet.

The grass isn't always greener
though pastures new may beckon
temptation gives temporary pleasure
but the consequences last forever.
