Hi readers, i hope you enjoy the last part of Chances. :)

You found out not too long ago
That all the while you'd been together
He'd cheated on and lied to you.
Called you names and showed disrespect.


You asked him about it all
And not surpisingly,
He told a blatant lie.
It's said that
People believe what
They want to believe.
In denial
You trusted.


The other girl, Ama,
She was called a leech
A tramp
Somebody who you felt pity for
Couldn't she see?
He was in love with you.


Today, you're with him.
You eventually went back
After his numerous attempts
To re-win your heart
If there is such a word.
But then again
Did he ever lose it?

As you lie there
Well spent and panting
After several hours
Of lovemaking
You believe in fairytales
You're on-top-of the world
He took you to the highest peak
And brought you back
In a storm of passion
You feel powerful
You're thinking, "Poor, poor Ama."
It's there
In your subconscious mind.


And just like that
It happens again
Talk about déjà vu
He just stepped out
Into the bathroom
You notice a blinking light on his cellie
A message
This time you decide to check it out
It says, "Message delivered."


You make sure he's nowhere near
And then, 'go into' his sent messages folder
There you see it
A message to Ama.
You can't believe it
He's still with her


What, when, why, how?
You want to find a possible explanation
You begin to make excuses for him
You want the message to mean something else
But then it begins to sink in


What you thought was love
Was actually a mirage
A chance,
Your foolishness
And your sudden realisation,
Your epiphany.
