Chances

By VM

I’m a love machine
But I don’t have a weak heart to break  
I am something a lot of women haven’t dealt with
It could be good for some
And bad for a lot
So please make sure you make the right decision
I’m not here to bring you any pain
I am the morphine you need
To take away the pain
So please take me
Because you and I both feel something
We never felt

    VM,

    Thanks so much for sharing this poem. I dig the way you compare your love to morphine. It is nuanced and honest, and its message rings true: love is not always kind. Please keep writing! I want to read more.

    This poem is emotional and nice to read because chances are something we are lucky to have. This poem seems to be about giving someone a second chance. I like the story that is weaved into this piece along with good word placement. I believe that everyone deserves a second change because people make mistakes; we are not perfect. You got this and remember the best is yet to come.
