Second Chances

One to many

Letting someone wreak havoc on your life.

Toxic to the core and putting you on the leash.

Being their own puppet, pulling the strings.

Showing no emotion when your heart is made out of wood.

Eventually, cutting the strings and being set free.

The damage you caused when making the escape.

The hurt being caused to others for being in your path.

Going through multiple waves of emotions, thinking your splitting down the seams.

Getting out of the maze you call a mind.

Distracted by your own life, others you care stop loving.

Willing to burn it all down and not show remorse.

Only wanting to be reckless and careless.

Relationships sinking like the Titanic.

When reality slaps you across the face to come to terms.

Degrading and hurtful actions, betraying trust, not caring.

Making bad decisions to put it all on the line.

Me begging for a second chance like another life.

Am I worth your second chance?

Or your done with me and want to move on?
