Poem - Mistakes

Mistakes
by Lilly Blade

We all make mistakes you say
Yet home many do I forgive
When it is the same mistake
Over and over . . .

Not a shoe on the floor
Or even a broken glass
But it is your word

Your word should mean something
Your word should be unbreakable
Your word should be kept

And it's not . . .

Mistakes can be forgiven
But once trust is gone
What's left?
