Too Late
05.12.06 (5:24 pm) [edit] Many do not know, The separation from loved ones, The reasons no matter how good, The anger, Pride, Stubbornness, Only hide the love hidden, Deep beneath the seething anger, To erupt after the one rejected, Dies. Parents who reject their children, Sons and daughters, Who do not speak, Too late learn, As they wake To the nightmare Of what was lost, Now gone forever, The one they thought they hated, But loved still. The wound That never heals, Regret growing with each New Year, All because of foolish pride, And the forgetfulness Of the horror Of the death of a loved one Scorned; Now missed More than life itself. |
