A grave mistake i finally made,
A sin i should have avoided,
Vivid were all the signs,
but i still ignored all the red flags.

A grave mistake has caught me up,
the result of  ignoring all the warnings.
with the line crossed and bridge burned,
how long will i face the music?

when will it be enough?
could tears wash me clean?
i wish rain could  flood away my sins.
but i'll have to lay on the bed that i prepared.
its life anyway

If you could only hear the words unsaid,
Or see the things not shown,
Then you could have known my heart.
For there I store the unseen.
If only you could be telepathic,
You could have known my intentions,
Or imagine my thoughts.
For I have a lot to say to you,
I have a lot to show you.
But I'm only an artist ,
And all my drawings you misinterpret.
How I wish I could be good with words.
For then you could see me.
This poem reminds me of how I couldn't say the right words and it costed me dearly
