SECOND CHANCES

Had my chance
Not once or twice
Too many times
It wasn’t right. 

Pushed too hard
Wasn’t kind
Got what was due
Got burned this time.

Regret, so harsh
What I deserved
After how  
I treated her. 

Second chances
Wasted, tossed
Undeserved
All’s been lost.

Begging, pleading
Out of time
Nevermore
I crossed the line.

Branded, never
Ever again
Over and done
That’s how it now ends.
