Too Late
It’s too late now
The gap between the language
Has grown too far to bridge
And meet for comprehension once more
It’s too late now
To contact each other across
The mountain of silence
That has grown between us
The barrier has scarred over and increased
To block any path for return.
Only the air is left
To hear the cries of frustration and despair
It’s too late now
To watch each other’s descent down opposite sides
And see how we both have grown
How we have realised the mistakes we made
Were due to youth, inexperience, and selfishness
And that there was nothing to forgive
But only apologies to be made
In the afterglow of emotion
Realisation comes with lasting regret
But too late
It’s too late now
