Almost Mistake  

 

I'm alright, I'm okay,  

I just made a mistake.  

 

I think this is the end and I’ll never see you again.  

 

It’s me, not you, 

I am not for you. 

 

I thought it could be something.  

But it was just me, wanting to be something. 

 

not hurt,  

just sad.  

This ending  

came too fast. 

 

A bit mad at me and you, maybe the good Lord too?  

  

Too late, my fault. 

 

I got lost in my thoughts.  

Like I always do. 

 

I need to be free and  

run from this dream  

before it completely traps me. 

 

It’s too good, it's too wrong,  

I don't want this to stop. 

 

This mistake is the worst 

I feel like I'm cursed. 

 

What's wrong with me, I'm stuck in this dream. 

 

I'm not okay, I'm burning away. 

I know I’ll miss every part of this, 

I was in bliss and all I needed was this. 

 

Last straw... 

last step... 

I have some regrets. 

 

Will you miss me?  

Maybe think of me? 

I guess I'm alright but I'm not okay  

this...you...maybe we weren't a complete  

 

Mistake
