I bear a tale
It tells of a forbidden tale
My tongue too tied to tell
Alas!
When they ask the question
I say yes
My heart aches
Deeply I bleed
For a wound unhealed
For a memory that hurt
For a memory that hunt
A shadow of years past
That lurk like shadows of yesterday
Blemished
My salvation lies in a healing
A healing from above
The agony of the raped who can understand
The pain of the blemished
Who can fathom
The feeling of a jewel lost
The memory a violet stump to a happiness craved
Blemished
I bear a forbidden tale
Tongue tied to tell
The cruel fate of a blemish
Isolated by scorn
Ashamed by the scorn
Blemished
