Burnt

I made a mistake.

I thought it was a joke.

I laughed it off.

Yet a lump came in my throat.

I saw your face.

I knew that I was wrong.

I change the subject.

Then it came through a song.

I apologize for what I said.

I really meant no harm.

I tried to soften the blow,

But it came through my arm.

I am not perfect .

I don't intend to be.

I plan to be human.

But mistakes consume me.

I hope you can accept my apology,

I consider it a lesson learnt.

I hope the love that we share,

Stay alive and never get burnt.
