A Chance Too Soon

Could have brought my heart back

So it was once again mine to lose

I muffled my voice in hesitation

And I gave you the chance to choose

 

You didn't try to even reach out

As I gave you opportunity to do

Instead you used your words to woo me

And in wooing make me the obedient fool

 

I told you so many times before

That from your words I am immune

They only disrespected me

When you expected too much too soon

 

And now you start to hold your tongue

But it is too late as it was before

Your promise of trying and dealing with the pain

Is a lie I shall be a fool of no more
