The Mistake I Made

was to let my heart deceive
True love i did not receive
Despite all i wanted to achieve
For selfishness is all i believe
 
      The mistake i made
was to make her a less priority
Despite all faithfulness and loyalty
Like a rag i meted thus
So ignorant of my loss
 
      The mistake i made
So lugubrious! The loss is great
Now my life; solely dwelt on fate
For i now let fate now succeed
For to only him can i concede
 
      The mistake i made
now nemesis has come to stay
I pray soon it goes away
Like a bird fly your way
I'm sober! Oh Lord don't delay
