Once Bitten, Twice Shy

My phone rings
and it’s him.
Asking me
for a second chance.

So, I humor
the conversation,
only because
I miss the romance.

As I cry
he moves in
for the kill,
I’m caught
in his trance.

My eyes
start to form
into heart shapes
and I believe
at first glance.

I give way some,
showing up
and for a moment
we dance.

The record breaks.
Fool me once,
you’re a dick,
fool me twice,
I’m the dumbass
and that’s my stance.
