Trickle Down

Subtle emotions
Suffer ignominy,
Blatant I was
Flagrant you were ,
Savage 
internal blushes,
Lose conscience
Of cruelty
And rudeness,

Drench of shame
Like hot liquid,
Flowing over my
Neck and shoulders,
Trickles down
Along my veins,
Episode regrettable
I feel guilty,
Like a spy
With cover blown,
Reprehensible 
I am  !!
