One Moment Too Late

By bdgrey

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Had I done nothing,... well that's what I did. Over the mind and reality of time, a reaction took place that determined my fate. For if I hadn't just stood there and remained dumb, love wouldn't suffer and my eyes wouldn't be numb. With tears I watched as the world around suffocated, and then I realized my move was much to belated. One second before, and I would still have you, yet I waited one more, and stood beneath comfort of hue. So now you are now gone because I waited too long. We will no longer connect for lack of respect. Now I stand at the foot of your grave, it's over now as angel's gay fully wave. You were so young and I was as such for the world to end along with my only crutch. You died that day, and so did I, your heart stopped and you ascended so high. I on the other hand lay with a broken heart, now that there's reality of forever being apart. Yet had I done one thing, it would have meant more. Life and love would be stronger than ever before. So now I have dedicated the only thing I can, I'm continuing to live to be a far better man. Everything I do is because of great love, so that one day I too, will fly on the wings of a dove.
