Mistakes

by FlawlesslyTarnished   Mar 19, 2010


Mistakes are not always just lessons learned
They haunt you and taunt you, while you yearn
For the forgiveness you know you won't receive
Attaining it is something only a fool would believe

I've taken my share of mistakes and regrets
Believing he'd forgive me for all of my debts
Oh how foolish I was, to believe him sincere
He won't ever forget, and that much is clear

How many more times do I need to apologize
Before he finally stops believing in those lies
Who is he kidding, when he says he's let go
Because the contrary is what clearly shows

Every fight, every dispute, he brings up the past
The blunders I've encountered, distant or last
He intentionally hit the most hurtful spots
With words as harmful as bullet shots

"I'm over it, I trust you," he lies through his teeth
But the truth and deception shows underneath
So let me ask, tell the truth, and don't subdue
Who are you trying to convince? Me or you?

-This poem was a little rushed. So I don't really know how good it is. .

    I actually really liked this poem, I can relate to it in many ways. I'm sure we have all had something similar happen in our lives, and there is always something that haunts us in the back of our minds.

    "So let me ask, tell the truth, and don't subdue
    Who are you trying to convince? Me or you?"

    These lines bring the piece together, and I find them very powerful. This is what made me really like the poem, over all. Good job.

    5/5

    Aww... great job! and yeah like failure said a mark of great writing is when the reader can see bits of their own life in your writing and i saw a pieces of mine fights that shouldnt happen and others being hurt over a well worn mistake but thats life and you touched a subject anyone can relate to and did so amazingly because everyones made mistakes and they have hurt someone in their lives but you poem was great even if it was rushed it was still good Bravo!!

    Everyone can relate to your poem. We all make mistakes & it's hard to forgive at 1st, but eventually that can hopefully change with a little understanding & support. 5/5

    I forgive you. Why is it that this beautiful writing only comes from pain? I hate it, but it seems that its the way of life. The flow was amazing, very alluring, the word choice lacks depth in my opinion though. You made me relive some moments in my life through your words, and that is a mark of great writing. Good job
