Too Late, Too Gone

You were heaven of heart
awash over soul,
a beckoned rose
blooming
dying in repose,
these eyes fell blind
drifted out to sea
until you vanished
in amnesia of memory,
but, I guess it's true
in introspection of blue
I'm just too late...
slave to pendulum of taunt
you're too long gone
in the hands of haunt,
and I always wonder why
lovers come and never stay
why they promise forever
yet, are forced to stray
perhaps I'm the one
who is to blame
I always seem to drown
love's breath in pain,
I'm just too late
and
you're too long gone
in love with her -
her sparrow of song,
but, how can it be
in weep of loss of sanity,
I no longer call for you
I find myself missing me

missing ourselves....can be taken ... they were so much of us that we now find we are no more the things we were and miss those..

I enjoyed the poem... though sad in theme

It speaks to loss and to the refinding of ourselves again or the beginning of the search for ourself...

I think perhaps..I'll have to read again..
which will be my pleasure...

Missing yourself due to another? Hmmmm.
I enjoyed the read and understood the premise presented as it was. Write us more, please.

Reflections of pain and anguish of love but well written.....

                                 "you're too long gone
                                      in love with her -
                                    her sparrow of song,
                                     but, how can it be
                                  in weep of loss of sanity,
                                   I no longer call for you
                                  I find myself missing me"

I like those lines as they seem to be the start of coming out of the pain...... nicely done!

Very well written. I truly love what it is you are saying. I hope you find yourself, and perhaps a long-life lover.

So much truth in your words... I loved every line
