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
