Too Late Poem by Sienna Harlequinn

Too Late

Rating: 4.4


I see you there across the room
I never thought I’d see you too soon.
Remember when I wanted you but,
You were too cool and just kept shut.

Why are you walking over to me?
Why is it now that you see
That I’m alive and look a bit different
Instead before when your heart was absent.

You get closer and it’s like a wave
I can’t breathe, I sweat, it’s you I crave
Why do you still get me, its been years
I remember the times and all those tears.

I remember how I wanted you
You said one day you’d want me too
You lead me on and broke my heart
I should have known it from the start.

Why now do you appear?
When I am happy without you here
You ask me for one last chance,
A night filled with endless romance.

You can’t do this, you’re too late
I’m happy now, there’s no debate.
You had your chance but missed out
I’ve got someone that doesn’t mess about.

You still make me weak
Why is it you that I seek
It might just be a habit
It’s you from my life I must edit.

You're too late, I say no more
I can’t go there and see what’s in store
It’s finished and you’re just a mate
It’s over now, you're too late.

Beautiful love poem. It seems like a push and pull affair Sienna. At the same time you have made up your mind and even though there is still some feeling there is no going back. You now know who you are.Your heart was broken your trust decreases and it will take a long time to pick up the pieces. Full marks Sienna

Interesting contrast here between the words expressed and the emotions experienced. You have no power over me, yet your nearness renders me powerless to control my reaction to your presence. A very nice consideration of the fragility of the human heart. How fickle we truly are.

A relationship needs to be taken care of by both the parties and more so when it stems from a love affair. It is better to secure it with trust rather than to squander it by being selfish. Thanks. You lead me on and broke my heart Why now do you appear? When I am happy without you here
