Too Late To Love Me Poem by ObiGod Chidi CC

I was a trekking prince
A knight in dirty armour
A diamond unpolished
A treasure yet to be found,
I laid in your closest
And dully dangled daily
Before an eye never dazzled.
I was still a golden eaglet
Stuck in the dusty shy shell,
As I watched you a pretty chick
Taken by a quicker wooing wing.
I secretly fought for your hand,
The glory another took openly,
Seeing you love another
Bites as ocean waters
When you tied the knot
It set my heart loose
To move on still looking back.
But you were blind and deaf
To all my green eyes chorused,
And my ever standing arms,
No until you started crying
Over who made you dance,
And you looked back too
To whom you twice desired
But never once demanded.
But it is too late now
Too late to love me.
The sun has set
The moon has waned,
I am somewhere
You can't reach me
And you in sweet fetters
Behind bars I can't cross.
Regret but wish no more,
Ever flash back,
But forward never
For it is too late now
Too late to love me.
