Mistakes

I retrace my footsteps, memories rekindled

Deeper the thought, the more I'm entangled

The past,a siren,singing its song

It invites me to dance in its shadows

I'm lured into the woods of my mistakes

With little light from the illusion of solace

In the shadow of my past, I'm lost again,

Walking the line of fate, one misstep at a time

Here I am, dancing with the ghost of my mistakes,

In the haunting echoes of choices I can't forsake

This path, it's familiar ; the outcome, it's clear

I thought id learn from them

Once,twice,swearing never to return again

Oh but how they pulled me back in

These past mistakes, like a relentless sin

And so starts the tempting rewind

Within its clutches i loose my mind

Echoes of error call me back to where i fell

I thought id evolved, firm in hand

And yet these old habits resurface like sand

Chapters after chapter, deep into the archives

I relive the pain, the wounds are afresh

On the canvas of time my life comes alive

Past mistakes are seldom held dear

I see no reason to live with them in fear

So,Perhaphs this time ill reach a different goal

maybe tonight is when ill escape

this journey might grant me some grace

a path ill cherish as a memory that remains
