Too little, Too Late

Looking at photos, ten years passed Wondering, why happy memories never last After the exporation date Needed too little, Didn't get it Too late.. Smiliing child there, innocent and mild The edges are bent and torn Like the child there, aged now Worn... Looking at photos, new and brilliant Child there, grown and fare Face still reflects the effects of yesterday Too little, To be the woman she is today Too late, to turn back the page And relive the innocence She's not been since... Those she needed... Hurt her Rethinking yester-years joy and tears She grew, She lived through Many a painful scene, she thought She forgot... Small child, lost to the world She was too little then To know she'd regret happy days Back then.. She came, too late to fix... The problems Thinking now, of a future That's gone un told She looks young... She feels so old Realizing, she's grown Still too little, to be her own Just too late, to not underestimate Those numbered days Too many pathways she... Forgot It came to her, too little She realized it, too late The past is finalized Written in stone The only chance had At a caring relation With the one she knew so well And hated so much, hurt by their touch Flew away, with the blink of an eye She sees herself and wonders How she grew into a woman She never really knew She sees herself and wonders How childhood, dissappeared Without ever realizing it's good? She is too litte to be her own She noticed too late, those years Were not just a date She loves now, strong Now matter how it hurt To lose the chance of relation With a part of her very soul Though they didn't seem to love, left her unwhole She can see a life with the one who returns Her affection, and can feel their love In the reflection of life with them And now, her lips move A promise to never give her other half Too little, for she will love too much Or anything too late, for not a second will go That they won't know, her life is theirs Written February 7th, 2002 © on Feb 07 2002 02:56 PM PST, Sharon   18 • 0 • 10
