A Second Chance

If you turn the pages of your life

What would you find in it?

 

Lost opportunities?

Feelings taken for granted?

Misplaced trust?

Hurt feelings?

Many, many mistakes?

Wrong paths taken?

Naive gullibility?

Irrelevant comparisons?

Striving for vanities?

Loss of time?

Loss of hope?

Loss of trust?

Loss of love?

Regrets?

Guilt?

Life lessons?

 

Life can be beautiful

And it can also be heartbreaking…

Try giving it a second chance

Hopefully the beauty overshadows the pain…

Believe

I don’t want to believe

In good things again

When all that I can receive

Is longing and pain

I don’t want to deceive

Myself again

Since there is nothing much left to believe

 

I don’t want to dream

Of things that never happen

We aren’t a team

We weren’t and will never be

I don’t want to beam

When I replay how everything happened

And was taken away, as if a dream

 

I don’t want to fall in love

When others can feel only the lust

It isn’t something gifted from the above

My heart won’t stop, but it must

I didn’t want to be the reason you drove

Me away from yourself

And I believed we were truly in love

 

I don’t want to get hurt

Although I may seem strong on the outside

I try very hard not to blurt

Out everything that’s killing me on the inside

I don’t want to be the first

To give up and break down

So I will try my best not to get hurt

 

Deep down, I still believe

That somebody will come

And teach me how to believe,

Dream and love again

Till then, goodbye
