Confessions II: Lessons Unlearned

A rogue heart escapes its' confines,
But I secretly gave the key.
Try even if you fail,
Are the instructions it heeds.

Complements flow from my mouth,
When I knew that they shouldn't.
As my heart begins to paint the pictures,
When I thought that it wouldn't.

Emotions that should have stayed on ice,
Melted away seeing her that night.
No picture could do her justice,
Etched into my mind, her love I must win.

A gamble leads to the proverbial slip,
Possibly leaving a stain on our relationship.
As thoughts leak with no towel in sight,
I released what was on my mind that night.

Didn't intend discomfort, nor the slightest unease,
Even though that's what I feel if she were to leave.
Maybe it would have been better that I left,
A joy to behold, how could I refrain myself?

Someone operate quickly, relieve my soul,
So when she inspects, she only sees gold.
Strength to bare what I care not to unfold,
Bury my weakness deep in my soul.

For my heart's traveled where it shouldn't,
Attempted to do what I wouldn't.
But when I know it's the best she deserves,
I'll pursue again, a lesson unlearned.
