Too Late
Too Late
So I'm giving it a try. Here's a poem after a long time,
But you can call it whatever you want. It won't make any sense, anyway.
But I'm afraid I must warn you that this might sound like a cliché love poem every heartbroken poet writes.
You might leave it in the middle or not read it at all.
It doesn't matter because I have to say what I have to say before I lose my sanity.
Your name lingers on the tip of my tongue;
A bitter taste of dying love
Right before it gets to bloom in the spring.
My body trembles at the thought of your touch;
Anuclear holocaust waiting to break loose under my skin.
This is a war I don't know how to fight.
If I told you how time runs backwards every time I'm with you,
And how, when I'm not with you, it marches ahead with lightning speed;
Would you stay back for a while and make it slow down for me?
Every waking moment has a bad habit of turning into a bad memory I can't contain.
I'm losing the track of time. All the yesterdays I spent wondering you'd come back are all blur.
Love has its wicked way of making people forget time; of leaving their hearts unguarded in the hour of need.
I'm sitting here, contemplating about the sentence I just wrote.
Realization dawns upon me.
