Too Late

by David ODonnell   May 10, 2009


Slow and wilted mind of pain
Inside my tears they flow like rain
Once life and soul and smiling faces
Slowly drift in several places

Wounded from a broken source
Feeling hatred and remorse
Numbing tears that blind my way
That clog my thoughts of things to say

Weeping less than once before
Dreaming pain while on the floor
Breathless moans and silent cries
Are all thats left when no one tries

Time thats left won't ever be right
Will have me screaming day and night
That poisoned mind will soon give in
And realize I was not her sin

    Slow and wilted mind of pain
    Inside my tears they flow like rain
    Once life and soul and smiling faces
    Slowly drift in several places

    *I would change the second line to "Inside lie my tears that flow like rain". Other than that I like how you start this. I can feel your pain right away.*

    Wounded from a broken source
    Feeling hatred and remorse
    Numbing tears that blind my way
    That clog my thoughts of things to say

    *I would change the last line to "They clog my thoughts and I have nothing to say". I like how you show how the pain affects you in many ways. Very emotional*

    Weeping less than once before
    Dreaming pain while on the floor
    Breathless moans and silent cries
    Are all thats left when no one tries

    *This stanza is perfect. the flow is great and the syntax doesn't confuse me. Nice work*

    Time thats left won't ever be right
    Will have me screaming day and night
    That poisoned mind will soon give in
    And realize I was not her sin

    *I'd change the first line to "Time that's left will never be right" and The second line to "will leave me screaming day and night" Sorry I kept changing things. I just like to help when I can. Changes or not this was a great poem. I loved how emotional it was. The imagery was great as well. Keep it up. Nik*
