Is It Too Late? Poem by Joanna Gonzalez

I got the call, they said you’d be here;
I’m looking everywhere, but I can’t find you.
Every doctor I see doesn’t give me the answer I want
Where are you, am I too late?
I want to see your face
The hospital lights make me dizzy and faint
If I could, I would take it all back;
The last argument we had, the last thing I said.
Why couldn’t I forgive you, everyone makes mistakes.
The biggest mistake I made was not giving you a chance
Now I want a chance, an opportunity to make it all right.
I held a grudge against you that I wish I had let go.
The last glance I gave you was full of hate
You forgave me so many times before.
I search for you and I will keep on searching
For the face that brought me hope;
I hold on and I will hold on forever
To your arms that brought me strength.
Is it too late to see your face?
To hold on to your gentle hands?
You deserve to be up and well
My miserable self should be lying half dead.
I walk up into the last room I’ve searched in
I see your eyes closed not knowing if they will open again.
I don’t see you moving or breathing.
Is it too late?
Is it too late for everything?
Am I too late to say I was sorry for not forgiving you?
It’s too late to make things right
I was too late to accept your love.
