perhaps-
perhaps its just a mistake
a terrible mistake
a mistake made against his will
his fragile will

i can't expect perfection
for im not perfect myself
i am flawed

it is my flaws that haunt me
and tell me i should forgive, forget, and let live
continue to love
only partially broken
but making myself mend
what wasn't my mistake
in the first place

but of course
it was all
just a terrible, unforgettable mistake
that he made the choice
to make
