Can I enjoy a mistake,

Knowing that I'll be followed by its ache?


I'm guilty,

All crimes are mine.

I'm guilty.

I don't regret any.


Can I enjoy a mistake,

Though I already made an apology?


I'm upset.

All the things I've done.

I'm mad.

All the things I haven't done.


Can I enjoy a mistake,

If I enjoy the pain it makes.


I'm cold.

All my bones shivering.

I'm bitter.

All my words poisoning.


Can I enjoy a mistake,

Aware that it's a fucking mistake.


I said too much. I haven't said enough.

I fucked up too much.It doesn't feel enough.


Can I enjoy a mistake,

Even if it's more than I can take.
