My Mistake

My stained glass soul all consumed
Drown in denial, choke on the truth
My swollen tongue has left me dumb
Too numb in my confusion
Bitter words not meant to hurt
Game over, start again
Waiting, that was my mistake
Timing, too little too late
Courage is pressure over grace
Freedom a smile on tortured face
My golden song from blackened lung
Words easily forgotten
All's not well that ends not well
I can't hear you
Won't you save your breath
Drown in denial, choke on the truth
