I Made a Mistake

I made a mistake
a new one,
my latest one,
one to add to my millions
but this one
this special one
wins the golden trophy
and thrushes its flag
on Mistake hill

I made a mistake
even sorry can't defeat
a bouquet of flowers
a bar of chocolate
even a guilty tear
cannot erase,
cannot undo
cannot mitigate

I made a mistake
that will always
belong to me
as the rumours spread
it will be used to define me
see that girl, she's the one,
the one who made that mistake

I made a mistake,
I've made many
and I'll make more
but this one demeans
all made before
