Second Chance...No Thanks

Second chances are rarely granted Wishes on stars are eternally chanted I come to you in pieces to make me whole I look into your eyes, but somehow see your soul Your dreams of breaking out, being free someday Searching for the answers, looking for the way Encountering a light hidden so well Likewise I’m hiding behind a mangled veil My heart in your grasp, my innocence unused Your hands I take in mine, callused and bruised A moment of harmony, yet the note struck hard The eyes of your heart are broken and marred Use me once and I’m yours to discard? My trust in you is forever charred Now I’m hiding my scars yet you see them too But what you don’t see, is I've been scarred by you

I almost feel speechless here. This write could have been written by me. All the emotion you put into it so describes what I felt years ago...the line 'Use me once and I'm yours to discard' hit me like a ton of bricks, because I felt that the most. The write was great, it just brought back some teary memories.

Claire, forgiveness can be difficult and, sometimes, it is unwise. People say the eyes are windows to the soul. I think you are wise to be cautious. Thank you for sharing this provocative poem. Carolyn
