The color on my cheeks just faded
My eyes moisten a little
I look away to hide my face
Blurt out inanities and hope
What I just said will be washed away
And buried deep into time
I hope the earth opens
Or the sky falls to hide me now
No time is left for analysis
Or to mint a memory to share
A little of my honor I seek to redeem
A bit of that ego I want to sustain
I try to retain that fragile respect
And run for cover from a snicker or sneer
I search into the eyes of those
Who were witnesses of this jest
For any signs of impounding mirth
Or of derision delayed
I want to shake them and scrub them clean
I want to rewind them to that moment in time
When I still posessed my shining honor
And the stupidity wasn't possible
But alas, the arrow has left
And has struck its blighted target
And I am left with smarting cheeks
And an ashen face of the dumb
Ah! thats okay, no hard feelings
For even the worst is forgotten
Some day I will look back and smile
And love this girl foresaken
