Love Poem: Second Chances

Second Chances

I broke down my past life, gave of every fiber 
But for what; a jilted love affair, blatantly acted out 
Right under my nose; i suppose you didn't mean to do the unthinkable, 
And break the unbreakable; was it worth it; not ever.  
The after taste of the questions we replace, 
With careless answers and swollen myths trying to pretend something is 
When in actuality, the reality is; it isn't; 
Let's see what's happens you said 
While placing my heart on comic hold; funny thing is 
There was nowhere else for me to go 
I gave of every fiber; the essence within me 
Only to be sacrificed, as if i needed you 
There’s no impossible solution to this dilemma 
No justification of this trip down memory lane 
As things progressed to what now has become
Life in slow motion, the over-analyzing, 
This mental state; I’m in, 
About to be one of those women who wanted to fight for love, but didn’t 
Love hurts most of the time, secluded, everything 
Can be gone within seconds, sometimes, second chances, 
Don’t always happen; only life after death.
