i’ve made a terrible mistake

i’ve made a terrible mistake

i should not have let her go

i am no good without her

even though i would never ever tell her so

male ego, you know,

i would never let her know

please don’t go

away again

i kiss her with the desperation of a last goodbye

she smiles and says, “nice try”

but bye bye, bye bye

and walks out crushing my heart

it breaks with a start

i’ve made a terrible mistake

i tripped into commitment

when i said the vows i meant them

but did not understand what they entailed

i still miss you

and i can leave her in a minute

saying that the marriage has failed

after three children

i made a terrible mistake

am i making one again

am i going insane ?

am i out of my mind?
