Poem #222 Thrice


Mistakes hurt thrice.


Once when they are first made-

a sickly sort of pain that threatens

to turn your insides out.


Again when they are ignored-

a dull ache that never seems

to leave no matter what you try.


And finally, when they are fixed-

a bittersweet reminder

that the healing has begun.
