Second Chance

He had often tried before but always with no success Always another closed door or making more of a mess He was really at his wits end where he just didn’t care Maybe some things don’t mend for life just isn’t fair A few years had past and he rarely gave it a thought On his list it was last of what he had now sought But there just ahead was who he tried to forget He’d prefer anything instead and then their eyes met Both trying to look away their eyes once again meet All those words he couldn’t say weren’t such a feat And she finally replied so hurt by what he had done About how he lied and walked out on their son He knew he was wrong saying he wanted to apologize Back then I wasn’t that strong but now I do realize The best thing in my life is no longer there anymore Losing my Wife my Son, for the first time my heart tore I felt what I did to you, I felt what I did to our Son And this pain is so new like something I’ve never done Maybe it’s s too late and I know we can never go back Perhaps it was fate that today put us on the same track
