Too late

realisation of a futile gesture
the grasp at straws
that just falls short
the words that I
just couldn’t say
now echo empty
within the night
and I still feel the pain in my heart*
from when you left me

it’s all too little a little too late
the love I found has faded away
it’s all too little, a little too late
a little too late for me


memories of a distant past
weigh so heavy
upon my back
a painful burden
for me to bear
in every thought
and every dream
and I still feel the pain in my heart
from when you left me

it’s all too little a little too late
the love I found has faded away
it’s all too little, a little too late
a little too late for me


my endless tears that fall in rain
form a pool of misery
not forgotten as they drain away
to leave deep stains
of today’s sorrow
leaving deep scars
upon my every face
and I still feel the pain in my heart
from when you left me

it’s all too little a little too late
the love I found has faded away
it’s all too little, a little too late
a little too late for me
because I still feel the pain
in my broken heart.


* “and I still feel the pain in my heart” line taken from the band Biffy Clyro, from the song “27” off the blackened sky Album. http://www.beggars.com for more information on Biffy Clyro.

Sometimes we have little moments of realisation in the most unfortunate of places, mine came at the beginning of what was mean't to be a break from all my troubles at the Leeds 2002 Festival. I was sitting on the ground by a warm fire when I turned to my friend and told him of someone who I had been unable to tell him off before, partly because I was embarressed because I thought that he wouldn't understand and thus he would laugh and stuff, I was also ashamed of my feelings that I fallen for someone so deeply. Anyway here I was in the middle of this field on a dark cloudy night, beside the fire telling my best friend about the girl I love but who I have lost and then I realise I can't live without her and well I can't stop thinking about her.

I know this is a futile gesture "it's all too little a little too late" but I just want to tell her that I love her.

Thank you for the kind reply Spine Grinder it was much appreciated. As I've probably said above I guess it's all to little too late but I've just realised something... well not exactly but it was made a little clearer I've been sending out all sorts of confusing messages during our relationship and after it ended... just take this poem /pip/Forum49/HTML/003727.html and then read this one... confused because I know I am or that at least that I was

Mate, it is never too late to tell somebody
             "I love you"

Ahhh emotional piece here. Kudos, Andrew.
I'm not sure of your case exactly, but I must disagree with Luther here...sometimes it is too late to tell them you love them. Particularly when they refuse to talk to you or call you anymore...and they have a new girlfriend who hates you, and they've virtually blocked you out. I'd say then it's too late, lol sorry...I went off on a tangent.

Good luck
Jenn

Why is it that we are at our most ingenius only when trying to destroy the things that keep us alive and thriving?

Well, you may have been ashamed of your feelings because you had fallen so deeply in love, but that's okay. As long as you realise it now, it's all good, you know? Lata.
