My mistake

A date,

Reminded me of my last mistake,

Pain, grief and sorrow made me

Hate,

A single thought can make you ache,

And that is something i cannot

Take,

But when i complain, pain is all i gain

There is one thing i know still

Remains “MY HEART”

Just the right thing to teach to

Love and forgive,

A perfect lesson on how to live.

The knock

Pain has come once more

To knock on my door,

And lay its dreadful pain within

My satin heart,

And leave its dreadful mark,

O!! how can my satin heart

Accept another mark,

Which nearly tore my life apart,

The knocking has stopped, it seems

As though the pain has gone,

Silence and thought may save

Your life,

It won’t hurt too much to try.

I try

I try my best

But life is like a test

Nothing is easy

Some times i think i’m going crazy

What is within

May never come out

A little trust may set me free

May be that is all i need.
