Mistakes


Mistakes are like...
decisions that go horribly wrong and hurt you and usually everyone else.
Mistakes have collateral damage.
Mistakes have consequences.
After all, it's never just one domino that falls.

So let's fall with them, shall we?

What's my biggest mistake?
My biggest mistake is holding.
I hold too much, for too long, with too much force.
I can't let it go, even after it all falls down.

I'll hold on to you if you let me.
So leave me now.
Leave me to my pillow to look up at the sky,
wondering and holding, too tightly, with my heart.
