Mistakes

Submitted by Flying Past Clouds on Sat, 08/03/2013 - 18:07

We're both trying to cope
We've made ourselves nearly
Unrecognizable to the other
Both physically and mentally

I turned to the unknown
Falling into the void, without
Any means of getting up
Trying to escape reality

You flung yourself to the
Nearest project, becoming
Someone new for the sake
Of forgetting our past

But we both turn around
And see each other's eyes
We hold out our arms
And cry the same words

"I've made a big mistake
Just take me back again
I swear I won't hurt you again
I only have eyes for you."

I turn to another nervous tic
You fly to another script
We're running to the ends of the earth
But I know I'll circle around to you

I was flipping through my messages
A number I never thought I'd see
One single sentence reduces me to tears
"I've made a big mistake."

To the invisible ears that always hear
I whisper to the walls
"I've made a big mistake too,
But we can't undo what's been done."

Notes

I'm typically in a mood this time of year...so while listening to Ed Sheeran's song This (www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqzlYTmFBGY if you want to take a listen), I wrote whatever this qualifies as. Hopefully happier poetry in the near future!

I just wanted to say that I have seriously loved everything that I've ever read by you and I think that you should apply to be a monthly writer. :)

Aw! Thanks so, so much! (You have now idea how happy that made me feel ahh!)
I applied to be a monthly writer three weeks ago, so I'm still awaiting the result! Hopefully I'll be hearing back in a bit...
But again, thanks! That comment made my week :3

This is so real. I can't pick out favourite bits because I like it all. :) Job well done.
And I hope you get that Monthly Writer thing!
