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.
