My Mistake

I was too quick to trust her Her eyes, her lips, her humility and swarthiness… Conviction was all I could gave in to. Plethora of confidence I have built upon her in a jiffy Like an edifice built upon a solitary island amidst vast oasis She chimed my mind, and thoughtless I became I became vanquished of my preservations My assets, my accomplishments, My most esteemed skill was hauled out of me A daring mistake worthy of my life Her everything was like my dream A dream I have kept and matched for one being I peered into her to see blemishes Of actions and intentions, Like steel, I believed my sight without a scintilla of doubt I paced when I lacked her countenance Her complexion was my dream hue I gave her everything, not even a few I was made to bank on her with my limited wealth My asset, my valued writings… my breath My mistake was irreversible And her betrayal was irredeemable My tears have become irrevocable My pestilence incurable And the incorrigible fate bonded my mistake. I thrust my debut into a strange hand And beleaguered are my worries already To my face she waved an eternal wand A nude message I could not fathom My pain grew and my anger brewed This is my mistake for lewd She was careless, heartless and crude My assets could make me a shrewd Yet my hollow thoughts are making me brood My mistakes have me nude and imbued
