My Mistake

With a tap on the door, I peeped in,

"Excuse me, may I come in? "

She looked up, a short nod as a pardon,

That's when I realized "Oh what have I done!"

I never wanted her to grow so strong;

Never wanted to face her for conversations so long...

I knew she was the Mistake,

That I can't run away from, at any stake.

So I sat down opposite her,

We both smiled at each other.

"You know why you are here, don't you?"

"Yes, I came to woe you..."

Woe her to leave my past alone,

I have given enough to her all along...

"See, let's be clear from the very first,

You have made me; I cannot return to dust...

So it is better you learn to live with me,

There's no choice from where I can see..."

"But I never wanted you here,

I thought I did what was right at that time for sure...

I had limited choices,

And I heard my inner voices.

What could I have done,

When all in my power was outrun!"

She had a cruel smile,

As she pushed me a file.

I opened it slowly...

It's was filled with acts which I knew only...

"Please don't show it to anyone,

If you do so, I will be done..."

Her smile turned into laughter,

I exactly knew what I needed to do here after...

I made a pact with the devil herself,

To keep her with me as long as I am there myself;

She would leave me alone as long as the daylight gleams,

Only to haunt me in my midnight dreams...

To make her go was all I wanted,

But in the process another mistake I committed!

With love,
