Second Chance Poem by Alfred Ramos

Second Chance
Out of nowhere
She was there
Now at least
I can put the beast
To bed
Out of my head
I never knew
What it would be like without you
Now I stand here alone
Sinking like a giant stone
To the bottom of the ocean
Depleted of every emotion
Then out of nowhere
She was standing there
What a fool I’ve been
To believe it would never end
For not bending every rule
And not believing it could happen again
Out of nowhere
She was there
Now I can lay
This monster away
Who know how long it’s been
Hiding under my skin
Never knew it would hurt so much
Longing for her touch
It was the heartache of the year
Felt like it would never disappear
Then out of nowhere
She was standing there
She slipped into my broken heart
She picked up the pieces right from the start
Yes, I was on the rebound
Lost but now found
Yes, a little fragile on the edge
But I made myself a pledge
To tread lightly on this new affair
Remembering that it came out of nowhere
