Last Chance
by Melissa ArelI gave you my heart and you threw it aside
You said you'd take care of it, but that was a lie
I gave you three children, lovely and pure
You said things to them no one should endure
We deserve better than what you have given us
If you want me to love you, then regain my trust
Being a strong woman and mom isn't a crime
I'm handling this drama one day at a time
Yes, I'm taking back this life of mine
I'm tired of these games, today I draw the line
I've told you how it is, I've taken a stance
This is how its going to be, It's your last chance

| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 08/19/07 at 08:00 AM You've written better poems, Mel, but none sadder or more honest. Like you, i hold out hope for the deliverance of that last chance. |
