One Last Chance Poem by G J Salgado

Hanging by the threads of hope that existed so long ago
Don't tell me that all I dreamed of is dead
No need to worry because it's all in your head
It all died so long ago
Don't touch me when there's nothing left inside my soul to touch
Don't whisper every time you say my name
It's not the same as it all used to be
And I give myself this one last chance
Before my final goodbyes
Don't give up on me just yet
Because I've tried with everything that's still inside of me
I can't give anymore
When there's been so much time wasted
On who I thought I'd be
I'm no more free than I was before
Don't close the doors
I'm not ready to leave
Even if there's just a tiny spark left within me
Because this soul still burns
Yearning to be all that's meant to be
Tell me you still believe
We can still breathe
Be alive in me
Was all I needed to see
See me for all that I am
All I need is one last chance
