Second Chances

I broke down my past life, gave of every fiber But for what; a jilted love affair, blatantly acted out Right under my nose; i suppose you didn't mean to do the unthinkable, And break the unbreakable; was it worth it; not ever. The after taste of the questions we replace, With careless answers and swollen myths trying to pretend something is When in actuality, the reality is; it isn't; Let's see what's happens you said While placing my heart on comic hold; funny thing is There was nowhere else for me to go I gave of every fiber; the essence within me Only to be sacrificed, as if i needed you There’s no impossible solution to this dilemma No justification of this trip down memory lane As things progressed to what now has become Life in slow motion, the over-analyzing, This mental state; I’m in, About to be one of those women who wanted to fight for love, but didn’t Love hurts most of the time, secluded, everything Can be gone within seconds, sometimes, second chances, Don’t always happen; only life after death.
