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
