too late
Dead people receive more flowers Than living ones Because regret is stronger than gratitude

“Too Little Too Late but we don’t say no…” Why is it too much to feel? I thought you had always known, isn’t what scares you what makes it real? Away, solemnly, while I now go, a fleeting dispositions appeal; too little too late; I still say so as were crushed beneath the wheel. not meant to be, when we’re not enough, half of every truth, a hand to cuff- *Too Little Too Late but we can’t say no, what prospects can you see? If we both see it comin’ but still don’t go, It’s not far enough for me;* Too little too late but we can’t talk about, the rite of ritual haze 1 on 1; start putting out, dance to dazzle and daze, Addicted to, know I’ve become, ourselves lost in the maze of Burnt paper fingers,carpeted hallways,as our heavy heads still tour the room- tie my right hand to the ride, too little too late, but never too soon

A Little Too Late
I was at your funeral before you had given me a reason to cry

nobody thinks about you until youre gone nobody realizes the hole you will leave in their life until youve left it nobody misses you until they cant have you anymore nobody apologizes until it doesnt matter anymore and now you're gone and its too late and nobody stopped you.

too late.
Is it a conspiracy? I feel this empathy, Like a weight bearing down on me, But I have no power to change. It seems like we're hurtling at a wall, No one seems to notice, Makes me question what it's all for, But there's nothing I can do. Too many people, Too much stuff, So many things, Yet never enough.

Conspiracy or reality?
I can see blood scattered in the road, I can see myself lying there Whilst covered in red liquid; Crowds are going crazy everywhere, I can here their screams, They talk so loud as they panicked hard; Tears of bitterness sprout within me, Why do people cares when it's too late?

WHY?
‘I’ve something to tell you... I kissed someone else.’ ‘You kissed someone else?! That can’t be true, who?’ ‘How could you not notice me, you had many chances to see... I don’t know what I want, but this is honesty.’ He storms away, slamming door out into the night. Then - ‘I’m sorry, your actions are yours but it’s my fault you’re there... please, I’ll get help, be your friend I’ll get better, I swear...’ ‘I love you’ says he ‘Why, truthfully?’ ‘You’re so beautiful... I don’t want to fail..’ But beautiful is a trophy, a conquest and marriage isn’t a contest. Actually, I now see The kissing of someone else was me, breaking free. I’d broken long ago his promises felt hollow I was clutching at saving me. My joy, our family, our life all millstones to him, burden and strife. The endless trying, ideas and hope, Fell on deaf ears - I was just the wife. Then I stuck around, tried, grief searing inside. Let him touch me (excruciatingly) give flowers and hold me... but it was gone with old tides. And simple jealousy tipped him? Got to be kidding me.

I kissed someone else: jealousy
I wished you leave me alone. Leave me be and let me wallow in the chaos we caused. More lies you say as you twist my words. I always want the last word though. Stubbornness. I have to win, but what am I winning? I don’t understand why you keep coming back. You just won’t stay away, even when I leave you alone. Using my poems to see where my heads at. Knowing I won’t tell you. And I never will. I hate that you think we are going to be together when me and my friend know it won’t. Thinking I’m here for pity. Never needed it in the first place. You can go and leave me alone. I’ll be here, the same girl. ***** **** Murderer. Unloyal. Hopeless.

Too late
I spent a lot of time Trying to fix you, But I never realized That you were breaking me. While I was putting Your pieces back together, You were ripping mine apart. But by the time I realized it, It was too late.

Broken Love
It's too late now to tell you "I'm sorry" You're gone. And I'll never see you again. It's too late now and it'll be too late forever because you're gone forever. And I'll never get the chance to tell you "I'm sorry" because it's too late.

too late
I’ll just paint a smile on my face, I’ll keep myself busy I’ll play make believe that I’m okay, I’m breaking under the weight, of being not okay! I feel myself fading away. I feel like I’ve been gone for a long time now, My body is present, but I seem to be lost inside. I used to love feeling everything I ever could. But now I feel like I’m fading away. It hurts me to say that I am not okay. Letting everyone down hurts me more than they know. It’s been tearing me apart, The fact that I will never be all that they want me to be. I know that I can’t keep living this way, I know what will come if I do not make a change. I’m buried under the weight of all the shame I’ve brought upon myself And I know there’s no one to blame but me. I fear I’ve faded away.

Fading Away
A heartbeat- loud enough to drown out the sounds. Gypsy rings- the ones that turn your finger green. A fire- crackling past the perfectly pitched logs. A silver chain- tangled and twisted like a drunken memory. Chipped nail polish- fragmented in the shapes of places you have never been. The lifeline on your left hand- too short for you to get anywhere that you want to go. A faded tattoo- the one that you regret like your eleventh drink last night. The red string around your wrist- the one that looks like trickles of blood when it is wet. The laminated bookmark- the one you ever so eloquently placed in my heart and walked away.

The Artifacts of What Once Was.
We caress the heavens together -Calm- In a trance Lost in a sea of souls I find you hard to miss -familiar- I can’t escape your pull I flow -not with the wind- But with you Bending air as I go My whole eternity is you A blue vastness -too great to ignore- From my perspective I live for you As there is nothing else Quite as magnetic -although, I’m trapped for sure- My naivete may live on Yet even I ponder The slight trembling in my heart Subconscious, or am I over? There, a world spilling with ants So small- Yet visible with their feats of humanity -I can see it so clearly now- Where once there were only specs- Now there lay a myriad of wonders Right before me -the haze clearing- My confidence often a victim of gravity- So steady hands always pulled me up Right on cloud nine I no longer feel the softness of those palms- Once my ever-aiding life -safety- I have fallen out of your grasp The wetness of tears Staining my existence- Yet clearing it all the same I fall as the icy raindrops guide my demise All hard and true- I must accept my punishment For I have lived on far too long And know much too little Seeping into reality- I can feel every texture on my skin Every imperfection on the ground -forever taunting me- Leaving the once continuous cycle- Venturing into the unknown Where-for once- A seed may grow larger than a planter could ever provide A wild flower- Thriving in a sea of individuality Forever smiling at the sky Despite the abandonment

Opening My Eyes
I lie through my teeth A smile on my face A quip on my lips And a plan rushing through my brain I cast my bait I stop and wait So you believe the fake I am I pull you close and hug you Only to stab you in the back I warn you not to cross me And you think it’s merely an act Little do you know that It is too well planned for that I let you through my walls So in the end you’re shocked When I do exactly as I promised And I walk away still locked So you take your leave Quickly and cautiously Lest I hurt you Or pretend to be your friend Try to make you trust me Just to betray you in the end At last you finally say With a grimace upon your face When someone says they loved me once ‘Oh the game she had you play’ I’m better off without her That creature who’s insane The cheat Liar Manipulator One without any compassion One who will never know love Loyalty or friendship Something she works with hand in glove But is beyond her understanding Frozen like her heart She will never have it They will always be kept apart Little do you know That my nights and all my days Are filled with the memories Of the people I have crazed It wouldn’t have hurt this monster (wouldn’t it?) To lock herself away Away from the few Who did not condemn her (openly at least) To use their words against them (far too much experience with that) To keep her soul awake Running from the demons That she’s always had to face The cruel whispers and the voices That goad her into thinking That all she’s ever good for Is her lying and her tricking And as I perch on the windowsill Begging for death’s embrace I stop myself knowing That the only absolution My only reprieve Will come if I am living Haunted and tortured for all my days

Don't wait until it's too late To tell someone How much you love, How much you miss, How much you care. Because when they're gone, No matter how loud you shout and cry, They won't hear you anymore.

they say you gotta live with the consequences of your actions but they never tell you how to live with a beating heart that's no longer living they said time heal all wounds but they didn't tell about the scars that rings torturous reminder they say take it one day at a time they never say time doesn't exist without you they say there's plenty of fish in the ocean but they didn't tell you the ocean couldn't drown this sorrow now I'm paying the price of loving someone a little much and a little too late

It's too late
There are some Who age too fast To keep up With the trend There are some Who say age is nothing But numbers There are some Who need numbers To help them Feel their worth There are some Whose numbers Don't add up Till the end There are some Then there are others... There are some Who like to wander With thoughts Loose in their minds There are some Who spend their lives Thinking 'bout feelings Of all kinds There are some Who believe that It's too late to Trust your heart There are some Who'll stand in your way When they know You'll make it safe There are some Then there are others... There will always be The one There are some Then there are others... And there will always be The one.

Some
~ *Twists and turns, Soon fade away. When you find yourself On a straight road. Only one car, Next to you. A stranger. Someone you don't know. The light is coming, Taking it along. All that's left is you, So you're alone. In the middle Of nowhere, Now you don't know Where to go. Suddenly Everything is coming your way. You're in the wrong lane, But you try not to let it show. At a crossroads. What will you choose? Forwards, backwards, Why not just go after your shadow? You're waiting. Overthinking. Worrying. But now you have to let go. Because of the twists and turns. They come back slowly. You had a one-way path, But you missed your chance.* ~

Roads
Like a gentle sunshine sneaking through my curtains at dawn revealing the scent of my darkness as you enter my little universe Ignoring the caution sign without any hesitation You stepped onto the frozen surface of my lake Not even caring if it’ll collapse Not even afraid if you’ll drown Every step was a sip of soda For I am addicted to your sweetness Yet still remembered every ***** Step by step ... Not stopping til reaching the center Not stopping til it’s too late

Intruder
i feel weak everyday another piece of me folds in slowly im becoming the thing you never wanted to see im becoming to reach the point you hoped i would never im the piece of paper in the bottom of your bag the one you needed you lost it and spent ages looking for it but by the time you found it it was torn to shreds it was no longer useful and you groaned and complained but then you got another and you were thankful that there were others to replace the one you forgot about until it was too late but i couldn't forget i laid there in pieces wondering what happened you cared but you realized it got bad and then you realized it was too late and you moved onto the next person to care about until it was too late for them too.
