Too Late

by @nichole-gryphon

I hear buses leaving, cars zooming; I know the time I have is dwindling I rush to my car, skipping breakfast; speeding there I see I'm the last arrival there as my car pulls in; too late I hear doors closing, the bell's already rang once; I know the time I have is dwindling I have to hurry, I must; I have to make it on time I groan and slow my pace as the second bell rings; too late I hear my friends begin to depart; I know the time I have is dwindling I run there to meet them, sprinting; They think I'm not coming I yell after their car as they speed off into the distance; too late I hear your voice, the only good today; though I know our time is dwindling I try so hard, to say the right things; to not make you mad It's too late, I've screwed up once again and ruined your night; too late I hear a click, a slight shift; I know the time I have is dwindling I want to tell you, I want to say it all; something to fix my mistakes I choke on my own tears as I hear the dial tone; too late
