the game

One chance,

Two chances,

Three chances,

 

You’re out,

 

This is a game

I play,

Where love is concerned.

 

You hurt me first time,

I get it,

It was not intentional.

 

You hurt me second time,

I get it,

You are just human,

 

You hurt me third time,

now, I don’t get it,

it is intentional.

 

Where did I go wrong?

for you to hurt me

many times.

 

Now, you’re out,

Out of my life for good.

Sometimes we need to open our eyes after the second chance one the mistakes are repeated again- I don’t believe people hurt others by mistakes- each person has control over their actions and knows what they are doing- best apart from someone who keeps hurting you 🌹

yes but sometimes when you love a person too much you tend to be irrational but thanks for the words of concern my friend.

Old Grandpa saying. Once a mistake. Twice, you are foolish. Three times, you are a dummy. I liked the thoughts and the wisdom learn. Second chances, rarely work. Too much baggage is being carry. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

[Coyote Poetry]

All of us are foolish with love. We hope love can save us. You are welcome my dear friend.

thanks for the understanding and the insight

A game so many know only too well. I wonder why the games adults play differ so much from those of our youth, bringing so much pain, when in youth they brought joy and friendship.
I sometimes think that grown ups should never be allowed to be in charge of anuthing and that kids sense will prevail.
We can but hope.

and if we can just go back to the time that everything was happy and joyful and deep in our hearts we wish that we should not grow up.

You are more than fair. You must have really liked this person to
be so patient and or hopeful.

Take care - Dave

Like 3 life lines....

[sette]

[Stella Armour]

i also think 3 chances are 2 too many.
If he gets away with it once then he will think he can get away with it again :)

[sette]

when i am in love my friend i am really stupid, thanks for a wonderful review

[Stella Armour]

it's all about self-respect.... if he really cared about you he would never do anything to hurt you, so don't make excuses for him please :)

[sette]

ok he has been gone in my life and still in the process of healing. thanks for the wonderful words of wisdom.

You are far too kind in trying to understand someone who hurts you one too many times! With each callous behavior of that person the distance between you and the offender increases to the point of no return.( I still think 3 chances are too many).

[sette]

yup my middle name is patience i think or maybe ive got a forgiving heart.. thanks for the advise and the wonderful review

[Mrudula Rani]

Forgiving heart is a true gift.All the best.

[Wild Rose]

Oo THREE chances
Second chance put them on the back burner
Leave then alone and have look around

Mind one of my ex's only gave me one > her fault any way > too eager and rushed

[sette]

hahaha... still an experience worth remembering
