My Second Chance

I told her I didn’t want to live,
And she said I had so much love to give.

I told her I wanted to just die,
And she said I needed to cry.

I told her I didn’t care,
And she said her heart would tear.

I told her I wanted to give in,
And she said to find the strength within.

I told her I chose death,
But she wouldn’t stand for one last breath.

I told her I had too much pain,
And she said I’ve starved my brain.

I told her that I was going to die,
But she would not say goodbye.

I told her I didn’t want to choose,
But she wouldn’t let me lose.

I told her I was alone in despair,
But she showed me she cared.

And in that moment-
I knew what she meant.

Now there’s a second chance for me,
Soon she shall see,

Wait until I tell her it’s life I might choose-
Perhaps she’ll smile at the news.
