The Girl Who Walks Alone in a City of Millions.A Poem by MeganBut now it’s too late darling,
But now it’s too late darling, But now it’s too late for sunshine, Because the sun has set Over this New York City skyline. Over the past year, I’ve learned a lot about myself and love, Dear, But it wasn’t enough, Because whatever I knew, Wasn’t enough to keep you, Close, For just another forever or two. Don’t come crying to me baby, Though I’d never want for you To be that upset, Though I know you never will, ‘Cause you’ll go crying to her now. I’m done with all the pain, And I’m done with feeling angry, But according to my feelings I’m not done with feeling empty. Well the Empire State building Isn’t lit up tonight, Ain’t funny how things work out When your spirit dies? I’m just crying out from a lonely rooftop, One of many I’m sure. Looking up to the sky, But no stars light the night, No stars to make me feel small. But with so many lights on in that Apartment building alone, No stars would’ve been seen No matter how brightly they shone, And I’m still alone. Does she feel, Like you thought I would? Is she beautiful, amazing, incredible, Everything, You’ve always wanted? Everything you said I was to you. And though I am far, And she is close, I hope you’ll remember me As the one who loved you most. And now I’m telling myself, It’s too late darling, Go to sleep. Because the sun will surely rise, In only a matter of time, Over this New York City skyline. © 2011 Megan |
