Too Late

By Jondee

Too late

Your hair was golden, your eyes blue.
The face of an angel you had.
But you left me for another.
That's the reason I'm so sad.

You were mine I thought,
until the end of all time.
Forever and more I'd love you.
For us, life would be sublime.

You left me, but without a word.
Why did you care no more?
I gave you all, held nothing back.
On true love you closed the door.

Time has passed, but I can't forget.
My love for you I have still.
Now I lie abed with a broken heart,
I can't go on--there's no will.

I'm told I have a new visitor.
Someone said, "a friend."
You've come back my Love.
But too late, it's almost the end.

You hold my hand in yours,
as my time slowly ebbs away.
But, I'm at peace with you here,
on this, my life's last day.
