My Big Mistake

My Big Mistake

written by: Eileen Clark

What did I do to you now, did I do something wrong
I’m going to get through this and try to be strong
I had a feeling this was coming, expected the worst
I tried to be prepared, all my words so well rehearsed

To my complete surprise the rejection came in a letter
This person is a coward, I thought I knew them better
I’m not getting a chance to ask a hundred questions
Many friends are overloading me with their suggestions

I thought foolishly that you were really mine
That you felt the same and we were totally fine
I read further down and realized I’m the real fool
That you believe dating others is absolutely cool

Seems I’m the only one that’s experiencing a broken heart
Looks like I’m proving to be a person not very smart
Moving on with my life, these sad feelings I can shake
Accepting the fact that this was indeed my big mistake

I'm an elderly lady with three grown children, two teenage granddaughters, and many great-grandkids, and two cats. In second grade, my aunt gave me a little book of poems called "A Child's Garden of Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson. It didn't interest me much, so I shelved it and forgot about it for months. Eventually, I rediscovered the little blue book, fell in love with the poems, and often read them. Despite a learning disability, I quit school at sixteen but later earned my GED at 43. Over the years, I stayed busy caring for home, family, friends, and pets while working outside. I pursued painting and found a liking for writing poems. Now, with rheumatoid arthritis, I've created a website for my art and poems. My simple writings reflect memories, imagination, life experiences, and my struggle with arthritis.
