One Chance

For a moment there we felt so special.

No I felt special, wanted and loved.

All I wanted was my chance at happiness.

All I'm left with is scattered hearts and a bitter void.

A void that's filled with hurt, bitterness and hate.

You left me so exposed to the dirtiness of this world.

Leaving me naked on an abandoned street.

Forgotten like yesterday's news.

All I was and all you ever wanted was to live for the chase.

Like an animal I was pouched down by your sweet, ever so sweet words.

Here I was at the ready mesmerized by your words to give my life, my heart to you.

And you without question went along with the game.

Taking but never giving.

Em S.
