Don't Make The Same Mistake Twice

Don’t Make The Same Mistake Twice


When you lie about something, which could hurt
Or damage the one thing you cherish,
You want to take everything you’ve done
Wrong back and be able to make everything the way it was.

To hurt something which doesn’t deserve to be hurt
Is not only painful to the one who was hurt,
But also the one who hurt that special someone
Can be hurt twice as much.

Without meaning to do damage
You can do so much more.
All you do is dream and wonder,
Hopefully not having the past haunt you

If people only knew of the things I’ve seen
And been in, if they had only been there,
Then maybe people wouldn’t be so pushy
And would show more care…

When you find that one thing
Which you don’t want to let go of,
You’ll do ANYTHING to keep it
But people have a tendency of ripping it up, right in front of you

    I lied about something which you shouldn't lie about. I am very sorry for it but unfortunately I lost a dear female friend from it but thankfully I still have my girlfriend and she had forgiven me. Please email me anything you have to say.
