M.P. Shaudd Poet Lyric

The Chance I Didnt Take

Girl I think it’s time 
To lay it on the line
And let you know exactly 
What’s been on my mind 

As I reflect on my regrets 
The one that cuts me deepest
Is the one that breaks my soul, the one that broke will
The one that haunts me still 

You’re the chance I didn’t take
The dream I failed to chase
It’s the love we’ve never made 
That keeps me in this place

Our yesterday’s have turned to years
With every day it gets more clear
I pray it’s not too late, I changed fate with one mistake
You’re the chance I didn’t take

I can’t imagine life without you
Or the heartache I’d go through 
If we never would have worked out
Now I pay for my excuse

You’re the chance I didn’t take
The dream I failed to chase
It’s the love we’ve never made 
That keeps me in this place

Our yesterday’s have turned to years
With every day it gets more clear
I pray it’s not too late, I changed fate with one mistake
You’re the chance I didn’t take

The only one to ever scare me
I believe is my soulmate 
That’s why I’m stuck here with the regret
I’ll have to carry to my grave

You’re the chance I didn’t take
The dream I failed to chase
I changed fate with one mistake
You’re the chance I didn’t take

Charmaine Chircop September 18, 2019 at 4:31 PM We all have that one moment of regret...That chance we didn't take..This poem speaks volumes...It could be about a person we wished to be with..or any other opportunity we could have taken and didnt out of fear. Powerful poem which makes one ponder. M.P. Shaudd September 18, 2019 at 4:42 PM Thanks for looking Charmaine!
