My Mistake Poem by Lloyd Cresci

I'm glad that I got to look into your eyes,
And see the true beauty therein.
I'd love to be able to do that once more,
If only you'd let me back in.
I know that I rubbed you the wrong way that day,
And I shouldn't have sported that grin.
But things just tended to get out of hand,
When we toasted each other again.
The lie I believed, was tricky indeed,
And told to me ever so smooth.
It spoke to me all that I ever did want,
It tempted me to make a move.
I shouldn't have listened; I should've just stopped,
I shouldn't have done this and that.
I should have avoided the foolishness there,
That stirred around under my hat.
Now when I think of the beauty in you,
And I wish I could see it again,
I know I shall never, again have the pleasure,
And all this is to my chagrin.
