A Day Too Late (repost)

by megan   Oct 17, 2006


I wrote you letters every single day
But you never sent them back
I knew you never loved me
But I had to take a whack

I waited so long
For just one reply
I waited so long
I wanted to die

For every letter you never sent
My skin was damaged by a knife
See without your love
There was not point to my life

Days came and went
We never spoke
I wasnt messing around
My heart really broke

I wanted you baby
This you couldnt see
All the pain and anger
It was hurting me

So I hurt myself
To forget you
I cut so deep
I almost cut through

I dont remember
What happened that night
But I woke up in a car
With sirens and lights

I laid in a room
I was all alone
I never got your letters
And you never called my phone

It was quiet then I fell asleep
I was dreaming of you dear
And how if I never met you
I wouldnt be dying here

But I woke up from the shock
They said someone must love me
I thought of love and wished of you
What would you say if you could see?

Look what you did to me sweetheart
You left me here to die
You didnt realize all my thoughts
You missed all the tears I cried

I looked all around me
I was surprised at what I saw
I saw no cards that said get well
I saw the letters, you wrote them all

You didnt want to send them
You were scared to love me back
But maybe if you sent them
My life wouldnt be so black

You sent those letters
Just a day too late
Baby im so sorry but you
Shouldnt have made me wait

Baby I miss you now and forever
I will always love you this is true
Whispered so softly the words from his lips
I love you too

Those four words are the last
The last words she heard
Before she slowly died
Slowly departed from this world

    "For every letter you never sent

    I love those two lines the most...it was a fairly good poem...some of the rhymes seemed a little forced but overall nicely done
