Chance

while i was drinking some vanilla chocolate truffle tea i was watching some wisps of smoke unfurl around me thus giving me the idea and a break from one of my manuscripts

 

A wisp of smoke unfurls in the air

Whirling, twirling

Stop and stare

This is the last chance to end your despair

 

You’ve fallen lower 

Twisting, turning

Time moving slower

As you reach your departure

 

Your ticket to hell

Has been justly satisfying

You can scream and yell

But never tell

 

The treatment you’ve received

Poor, disgusting

You’ve lied, cheated and deceived

Me right from the moment I conceived

 

Now is your choice

The last stand giving

Silence all noise

I give you a voice

 

Speak to me

I’m wondering

Don’t you see?

You’re the key

 

Unlock my heart

Reveal the opening

A piece of dark art

This is the start

 

Of the second chance

That neither of us got
