Sweet Mistake

I fell Now she'll tell Whenever they ring her bell I thought it was just a fling Then after I could sing But I smell from afar a sting What have I done? Now I can't even long For the next dawn I tried to meditate My uncertain state Oh! I wish I didn't meet miss mistake Something happened from nowhere I said to my myself "I am already here" What if I try to escape this fear I sat upright Knowing my place was tight That I needed space to make things right How could one make A mistake and change it to a stake Life is all about the bet you take. (Right?) I remembered her touch Truly It didn't hurt She only put a flame on my torch The fear had put the fire out The guilt created doubts For miss mistake and her mouth I went to meet her again At least there's a gain But I realized later that the more the gain, the more the pain -MICGRAY Mistakes are not for pleasure but for learning
