To learn from my mistakes I must...
Pretty much anything goes. Go as in-depth with your mistakes as you would like, but don't be afraid to be figurative when necessary. Poem does not, of course, need to have the exact title in the work.

¿how?

her soul died half a decade ago,

in my arms;

in my sight;

in my heart.

it's an enduring mistake i have to conquer,

for the vision of her death still haunts me,

am i to be blame for this?

or must i blame her?

her soul died half a decade ago,

in my room;

in front of me;

in darkness.

i want to erase the memory,

i killed her, didn't i?

it's an error of eternity,

and i don't know what to do.

her soul died half a decade ago,

inside the box i built;

inside the system i created;

inside of me.

it's a mistake, i swear--

a mistake i have to endure;

a mistake i have to change;

a mistake that needs learning.

then i looked at myself now,

how do i learn from this fatal mistake?

i must reflect;

i must surrender.

how do i?

i must accept;

i must focus;

i must know the consequences.

how do i?

i must think;

i must listen;

i must admit.

how do i?

i must understand;

i must change;

i must not repeat.

how do i?

i must bring her back;

i must call the Creator;

i must not lose myself again.

then she's back,

and she learned from her wrongdoings.

then i'm back,

and i learned from my wrondoings.

quarter to twelve.

i wish i could kill myself tonight--

with my eyes so dark and sharp--

to see if i could still feel pain,

to see if i could still bleed.

i wish i could kill myself tonight--

with my words like perilous knives--

to see if i could keep my heart at rest,

to see if i could keep the numbness in my chest.

i wish i could kill myself tonight--

with my own blooded hands--

to see if i could stop the quivering it caused,

to see if i could move it like the old times.

i wish i could kill myself tonight--

with a death song i composed myself--

to see if anyone could hear my pleas,

to see if you could listen for just a moment.

i wish i had the guts to kill myself last night,

so i won’t be able to write this piece;

so you won’t be able to read this piece.

i wish...you prayed for me.
