Too Late

Too Late 

Too near to you, 
intoxicating, 
causing a butterfly effect. 
Speeding pulse, 
and glass shards start 
to break. 

It's too late to say, 
too late to return. 
Too late for you to play, 
that you didn't see 
my hurt. 

Too late to restart, 
too late to glue back 
the cup. 
The throbbing inside me, 
I can tell you simply, 
that it sucked! 

Too late, my mind and 
heart are at a blood thirsty war. 
Trying to ease my torture, 
with any booze at whichever 
bar. 

Too late for rest, 
yet another sleepless night. 
Still my heart strings pull 
painfully inside. 

Significantly, too late, 
just an absolute waste. 
Even if I can get rid of 
that loving face, 
that will forever make my 
heart rhythm race, 
I've gotta say... 

Too late to apologize, 
I don't mean for it to sound 
cliche. 
Too late to stop the tears, 
Too late for everything else. 

Too late its been scarred 
into my memory, 
Too late to possibly regret. 
You, as much as I know, 
that we will never forget. 

Too late for me to say anything, 
as I see you walking away, 
Taking one last look 
at the back that I've always been 
following. 
Knowing I'll never see you again. 
Because everything was all 
just too late.
