Too late I guess you should say what you meant Finding ways to please every soul But failing in every way, in every rule For what? What could be done to find favor? What could be done to be accounted for? Passing faces in and out Fading smiles and noisy sounds Waiting for screams, dying to shout Silently hoping for fluid bounds I am here and you are there You are the star that usually dares Fill my eyes with sudden stares Leaving me with something I couldn't fare And that's it. I fell in love Praying for a miracle from above But as life intervened We found ourselves completely apart Even though we haven't sinned Perhaps you wouldn't want to start
Fly, fly away But you are that bird in the cage Once you are free, you got nothing to say Drifted far and wide, off from the page Too late You were gone too soon You should have stayed and enjoyed your boon You've found someone other than me And you've stayed with him until three became three You cheated, you lied And too late, I could have tried Fixing things out, finding the truth But you gave up and betrayal is the fruit You used to have happiness in your heart But it shattered to pieces, to a thousand shards And too late Because I could seal our fate But you hid from your destined mate And you ended up in the ditch where no one stayed up late
You should have laughed I should have forgiven But with hears hardened, all turned to bluff All is meaningless and suddenly ashen Digging my own niche Tying my own hitch Looping ropes in my neck Talking to no one in check Wasting lines while writing nonsense Fighting for nothing, not even a pence Too late You should have come home Helped me save my life from the meaningless roam Too late You should have fought back I should have too But we are too slack So we lost to out two I've turned my back You did the same I look behind And I realized I'm lame Took off running, finding you there Found you saying your final swear
I stood there, unable to speak Unable to do anything except peek At your beautiful face, your beautiful smile Seeing your happiness bounded for a mile 'I object,' I wanted to shout Too late, the doors started to shut Get out! I must flee this place When you turned your head and tears traced You ran, leaving the altar Ran to me, who stood by the door Cried, until everyone is looking I just stood there, happiness feigning Until I realized something Something ground-shattering I was too late Always staying off the plate Until the day you swore your oath I was there A second too late

I vividly remember the emotions I hid into this poem and it's uncomfortable to be reminded of them especially when I thought them to be silly now. I certainly thought it mattered back then but now I feel like punching my past self for even thinking and feeling that. I don't know.
And somehow, I managed to turn this poem into a wedding-crashing scene.
So, what do you think? Comment below. :)
