One More Chance Poem by Maya Hanson

One More Chance



I stand there and watch
as you drive away
If only you saw
in your rearview mirror
that I was walking toward you
instead of walking away
But you have twisted vision
Finally
I see that now

I have a wish
A dream
as to which way you’re headed
But all we can leave it up to is chance
My eyes see you coming towards me
because that’s what I want to see
It’s like a double image
but reality is left up to
Give or keep
Want or need
Lose or lie
Live or die
Chance…
the only thing that can decide

If only
what you saw in your mirror
was what I agreed with
what I wanted too
If only
I wanted a different vision
Playing out in front of me,
one that didn’t
Steal my heart or
Control me this much
Chance
the one thing I rely on

My hope left up to chance
It’s gone
after a single opportunity
Is it sad
that I would give that hope
one more chance
It’s not right,
but if the moment was given
for me to make a decision
Put on the spot,
the pressure isn’t yielding
When will I be free of this
But if that moment was given
I would give you
one more chance
