I'm Not Ashamed, Are You

She smoked, and she drank In the closet she even smoked pot, Women had called her a skank She had cheated and she was caught. Of those habits of course I had none I never did smoke or drank or even curse, I didn't know those demons, was my pun To her I would then recite a caring biblical verse. I gave her all that she wanted I gave her all the things that she needed, In my soul and thoughts she always haunted No needs of hers were ever unheeded. To her family and friends I was unknown As she held tightly unto my arm, I was not ever bragged about or ever shown But, I would always protect her from harm. Whenever her friends were near She would quickly runaway and leave my side, To her family and friends I had to disappear, Then me, she would always ignore and hide. She once had trouble with the law Compassion for her everyone did lack, But, a good soul and my love in her I saw I swore that I would always have her back. We once saw my family up ahead She then asked me what I was going to do, Then holding her hand with honor and pride I said; "I'm not ashamed, are you"? Randy L. McClave
