forgetting to turn off the lights

we make mistakes,

we all do.

we're only human,

right?

taking a bite of something

sour, thinking

it's sweet, we take

a drink

of something

gone south,

spitting it quickly

out.

we turn left when

we should have turned

right,

we wake up 

on the wrong side 

of the bed

with the wrong person,

mistakes

get made.

we go up to sleep,

but forget to turn

off the lights.
