Too Late

I just don't know what to say.
Something has touched me,
Something has stirred me;
Something about you
Has wakened my heart.
Brought a soul to life that I thought was dead.
And now that we share this beautiful love,
We find that we're too late.

So many years
Until I'll be able to touch you;
To feel you beside me once again;
And look in your eyes
Into the soul I've loved
for so many lives.

Too many years

And it's murdering me
A soul came to life, only to be stifled
Pushed down and strangled;
And I'm so sorry.

I long for nothing so much as
To lay beside you as you sleep;
Meet your gaze through the night
And tell you the secrets of my world.

But I'm so scared
And so sorry
That we found each other
Just too late.

Beautiful and heartfelt. It's the sadness of the human condition - to think that we can lose love or be too late for it...

Sometimes I read poems like this that go beyond the normal levels of life, and it's hard to find anything to say about it that wouldn't cheapen the way those words made you feel. This is a subject dear to my own heart, thanks.

Hey, this is a great poem... it should be a song. You should find a pianist or guitarist and make it a very deep and touching ballad.

This is a beautiful poem, I exactly know how it feels to be awakened by the touch of love after many years of deprivation. It can be scary as much as it is lyrical and exciting.

Wow I feel this way almost everyday, your words bring out the inner misery of lost love and a life that might have been.
