Second Chance

Jal

What are you up to now?

Where have you gone?

I miss your radiant smile

Lips glistening in the sun.

 

Have you thought about me?

Just once over the years?

I've thought of you

Through all my dried tears

 

It's hard to find purpose

I have little to give

You never had that problem

You knew how to live

 

Is it all my fault?

That you've gone and ran?

If only I could try again

In another place

Have a second chance

 

You brought light to my life

You were my escape

Gone now, I'm far away

I'm left with bitter hate

 

I don't like the mirror

It reflects nothing

Just a worthless husk

I can't feel anything

 

Won't you come back?

If only for a little?

And bring in that light

If only a flicker

 

Is it all my fault?

That you've gone and ran?

I'm so helpless without

And so tired

I just want a second chance

 

I'm losing myself, finale

23 years wasted

Giving up is the easy bit

Losing you, same can't be said

 

Why did we have to grow up?

And go our seperate paths?

I'm lost without a reason

I just want to go back

 

I sit here in isolation

Hugging a loaded nine

In my thoughts is reason

And you by my side

 

Is it all my fault?

That you've gone and ran?

I miss our innocence

And that warmth

Give me a second chance

 

Is it all my fault?

That you've gone and ran?

I'll do better with life

I promise I'll try

I need a second chance

  • Comment from author about the poem: While at work, I was reflecting on how much I have changed over the years. Age, personality, music. Gone are the days is me listening to Nickelback, baby we are on that Avenged Sevenfold and Nine Inch Nails grindset! \r\nWell, one of those things I thought about was how little worry I had as a child. All that innocence, playing at the local creek and total tomfoolery I got myself into. Nostalgia hurts, but its nice to reflect on simpler times while I sort out the more difficult parts of my adult life. I just wonder if that happiness I had as a child is really gone, or if maybe its there somewhere. Who even knows anymore.\r\nWhatever the answer is, atleast making this poem was incredibly comforting and therapeutic. So, cheers to that lads. 🤘
