Yesterday's Mistake
Finding forgiveness for foolish fights;
my lonely heart overruled my head.
And although I should've known better,
I wanted to believe all you said.
You swear you'll never hurt me again;
begging me to please unlock my door.
And then you plead for just one more chance;
like you have so many times before.
You try to convince me that you've changed;
and you honestly care how I feel.
But, although my heart starts to take note,
many painful wounds refuse to heal.
Memories of lies and betrayal
still haunt the outer fringes of hope.
And fueling fragmented feelings;
and I am not sure my heart can cope.
I can't forgive what I can't forget;
some images cannot be erased.
And whenever silent screams surface,
my dreams and nightmares have interlaced.
I'm scared of trusting you, yet again;
it's such a critical choice to make.
Do I bet on a new tomorrow;
or gamble on yesterday's mistake?
