one chance

it's late
and i should be sleeping
but instead
i lie awake
thinking of you
picturing your face in my mind
i wish you could look inside
and see just how much i feel
i've been betrayed too many times
for once, i want to feel only love
pure bliss
in this battered heart
i know i can find it in you
if you'd only let me try
all i ask is for a chance
and upon that one chance
i swear that i'll never break your heart
as i hope you'll not break mine.
