Mistake
It was one mistake.
One stupid mistake.
You hold it against me,
like a blade to my throat.
You don't stop to realize,
mistakes don't define a person.
You hold it against me.
You don't realize the pain you just caused.
Mistake.
I wish I could take it back.
I wish I could turn back the clock.
I wish I could make the scars go away. The memories fade.
But I've learned from my mistakes.
So, maybe they're okay.
