A Little Too Late Poem by Mary Neil Poisson

I know you're too far away
Too far away to hear me say
That I miss those times when you were with me
Those times when I'm the only one you would see

I sit here staring at the wall
Thinking how I let it crumble and fall
Andmy world wouldn't be cold and matte
If I had done something better than that

I will turn back time if I can
But that's far too impossible for a man
I could have held you and made you stay
But all I did was watched you walk away

I could have told you what I feel
But I know it wouldn't be real
I didn't want you to see me fake
So I let you go for your own sake

When you were gone that's when I fell
To these strange feelings that I cannot tell
Now I realize that I am was too late
I don't have enough words to compensate

I thought I had won the game
But I realized I am to blame
Everything around us fell apart
And now I'm left with a broken heart

I know I'm not worthy to be loved again
Because I'm the one who caused you that pain
But there's not a day that I haven'tlived with regret
Seeing that pain in your eyes that I couldn't forget

I thought it would be better to let you go
But I found out that I'm nothing without you
I wish you could see it through my eyes
That I want us to give it a second try

But seeing that you didn't want us to
Letting you go was the best thing to do
But before ending up this story, I just wanted to say
That I was really sorry for letting you walk away.
