Mistake, The

by Tim J Bono

I can see that this won't go away,
It's something that I must face
I was only trying to have some fun,
but I think it was a mistake.

I wouldn't know what to say to you,
if you called me on the phone,
and I wouldn't have done the things I did,
if I knew it would follow me home.

So where we are to go from here,
my love I do not know
But I do not have time for this
so either my inhibitions or your presence must go.

---You roll me out---
---and fill my head---
---your persistence devout---
---the rumors spread---

This maddening, is roaring in my mind
Your looking for something you will not find
I'm quite sure that there's no substance here
These visions of you I cannot bear.

It's unbelievable, how you're so naive,
you've fallen for someone you've merely seen
Haven't you ever heard of an one night stand?
I think the bottom line is,
I'm afraid you won't like me for who I really am...
