Always Too Late

=/ Don. That's All I Have To Say. Enjoy.

 

I’ve finally found the resolution

I’m having to live without the solution.

My once pure soul is choked with pollution.

My once clear head is swimming in delusion.

My once strong heart is weakened by confusion.

Happiness for me is now a flickering illusion.

Pain & sorrow is my heart’s brand new fusion.

Forgotten memories are coming back, sharp & clear.

White-hot pain & agony of what I missed begins to sear.

Words you spoke to me that I didn’t even hear.

I can feel your arms about me, even as I stare into a mirror.

And see there’s no one to keep me company except my tears.

No one whispers to me except the voices of my fears.

Sweet visions of the futures & promises fell on deaf ears.

 

By the time I started appreciating your love it was too late.

You were gone from my side forever, you didn’t even wait.

You’d dropped me, let me fall & left me in a miserable state.

And when better love & promises came along, you took the bait.

And while you walked away I stood behind Solitude’s gate.

Surrounded by a lonely world of age-old sorrows & ancient hate.

Will I always self-destruct my happiness, is this my true fate?

The rhyme and meter of this is pretty damned good. It's not easy to string lots of rhyme together like that but you did it very well, making this a cool piece to read out loud.
Keep your chin up, and keep up the writing.
