Go, then! I know the taste of shame Erase the guilty memories of my name but, please, in some hidden recess of your mind find a way, a place to love me if you can or pity if you must Just, please don't hate me. Give a care that I am heartsick & forgive this contagion crafting errors of my ways mistakes that further distanced you from me and see I just miss you still.
