Second Chance Poem by Christian Rivera

Not everyone gets a second chance
Not everyone should
But if I gave you just one, would I be wasting my time?
Or would you really fix things as best you could?

I have to admit, I don't want to hate you forever
But you hurt me in an unforgivable way
Telling me we would always be together
Only to break my heart and throw me away

So tell me, Enemy, do you think you have the right to fix things?
Can you turn my hate into a new somewhat trusting love?
Or will you fall right back and dismiss me?
Leave me alone again, covered in dust

I personally don't care if you say yes or no
I'm far over you, and my hate really only makes me numb
One way or another, one of us will let go
And when it happens, you will be just another person I never think of

But hey, if you can make it right, go ahead!
Just don't make the same damn mistakes that you did
Because I don't mind having you as a friend
But never more, because I can't trust you like I did
