My Greatest Mistake Poem by Dan Uher

You were the one
The one I thought
You were the one
The one who taught
You were the one
The one who fought

You were my greatest mistake
Wouldn't change a thing
The give and take
No sin or ring

You kept me going in the world
You kept me in your arms
You held me tight
Every single night
That we were together
Felt like forever.

Felt so unbreakable
So unmistakable
In plain view
Right next to you
You were my heart
And my soul
We fell apart
It took it's toll
