Choices

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
