The poem I read too late

A Poem by lorielyn

I FOUND A POEM IN A LIBRARY
IT WAS INTERESTING AND GOOD
BUT I GOT BORED OF IT
I DIDN'T FINISH READING IT

I THROW IT AWAY
I DIDN'T LOOKED BACK
I DIDN'T THINK OF IT
ITS NOT IMPORTANT ANYWAY

UNTIL SOMEONE PICKED IT UP
THAT PERSON READ IT
CAREFULLY AND ASSURING
UNTIL HE FINISHED THE POEM

THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED,
THAT POEM IS MY LIFE
BUT ITS TOO LATE
I READ IT TOO LATE

SOMEONE FINISHED THE POEM,
THAT I FINISHED TOO LATE
HE KNOWS IT TOO WELL
WHILE, I DON'T.
