Mistakes

Day in and day out,
Day after day of living a lie--
Shallow love and false hopes,
Draining away one's very life force.

Decisions rushed, nothing thought through--
A few months shaping a lifetime.
Years of pain follow months of bliss,
Once the blade of reality cuts through.

Doing what should never have been done,
Going where one should never have gone.
The illusion is past, reality is here--
And one is left wondering, where to go from here?
