Poetry: Mistakes

by Laney Rowland

Created on: June 02, 2008

"My Mistake"

My mistake was listening to others rather than my heart

I allowed their opinions to tear us far apart

In the beginning I was right

You truly were my armored knight

And even now my mistake shows more than ever

Because I fear I have lost you for longer than forever

No longer am I protected, my knight

By your wisdom and your love

No longer will I hear your voice

Just as soft as the wing of a dove

I am now only aware of my tears

And my long lost armored knight

For my only mistake was losing your love

Rather than doing what I knew was right.
