Heartbreak Mistake

It

was

the wrong

thing to do, to

tell you how I felt,

how I feel, because now

I see you there and know that

you can hear me, and yet you turn

away from me. You close your eyes

to blind yourself, plug your ears and go

deaf, to the efforts I make to continue us as

we were. It was a mistake, the biggest one I've

made. And it's the only, only, only one I have ever

truly regretted, for this one is one that I can't see as a

simple learning experience, a choice that will help to

mold me into who I will become, all the wiser for the

wrong steps I've taken. No, I wish to go back in time

and erase my words. To tell myself that I can live

with them eating me alive just so long as I still

have you as my friend. That I can live with

less than. Because this hurts so much

to know that it was a mistake

to utter those words.
