Shame of my game!

Shame of my game!

Now that you caught me in my own game,
I accept I have brought you shame,
Really the shame is mine,
I pray this will be the last time,
I took you for granted,
Now my reward is granted,
Nothing said or done can change the past,
I want to make sure the pain in your heart doesn't last,
I refuse to believe things will never be the same,
I know the best excuse is very lame,
You married a man with imperfections,
Even as he makes genuine efforts towards perfections,
I might look all sleek, strong and invincible,
But beneath that veil lies the vincible,
I am not a mistake,
But I make mistakes,
Don't throw the baby with the bath water,
This is not the time to scatter,
It is a moment to gather,
Gather the very best of you,
Help me with your strengths,
I'll help you with mine,
We can help each other,
Become that better person we want to see,
Lets commit to do whatever it takes,
In stead of mar let us choose to make,
Exercise patience as we sharpen a conscience,
Change doesn't happen by wave of a magic wand!
