Array ( [sid] => 51170 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Knowing I Was Too Late [time] => 2004-06-09 15:36:07 [hometext] => I had a weird dream about my love last night, so it gave me some inspiration to write this. [bodytext] => I lingered near,
Upon the gate,
A heavy sigh,
Knowing I was late,
I could have helped,
Intead of slept,
But my actions gave me,
A nightmare today.

My eyes all watery,
My heart starts falling,
Where did you go?
I've looked so low,
I've looked so high,
High enough,
That I couldn't reach,
I had to fly,
In order to see.

I opened the gate,
Which gave a silent creak,
My eyes are puffing,
Tears start to leak,
Rivers and Rivers,
That I start to quiver.

My head was slumped,
Couldn't see the front,
Blaming me,
For what went wrong.

For how much I long,
For how much I cry,
I cannot take back,
All those lies,
Now I think,
Now I see,
How much I loved you,
But now I cannot speak.

I turned away,
Away from the flowers,
Waiting Hours and Hours,
Before I moved,
I dragged my feet,
Away from your grave,
I could have been there,
But instead,
I slept.

Great poem.
