Too Late
I'm in love with him, does he love me?
Too blinded by love, too kind to see
He has his sights set on another, he's already on his knee
While I'm standing far away, trying to plea.
I waited too long, now I'm not in his eyesight
And the sadness I'll feel, will now be the highlight.
I wish I told you, I wish I was there
Now you lay in someone else's arms, while I despair
It's funny how life works, but this shit is so unfair.
I wish we could be, but that will never happen
You and him were destined to be, and now my heart will blacken
As I watch you two from afar, my love hidden from fate
As I sit here and realize, that I was too late.
About this poem
I wrote this poem, as recently I was experiencing genuine love with someone who I'd met a few days ago, but realized that they had their sights set on someone else, so I wrote this to help cope with my feelings.
