It's To Late For Words

by Jenni Marie   Nov 7, 2007


You've blown to many chances, gone one step to far
Finally beginning to realize, what a frightful liar you are
Caught red handed, when I walked in on your deceit
Now I'm erasing all our memories, time to hit delete

It's going to be difficult, for you my heart still yearns
So tired of giving everything, getting nothing in return
Never cared less, about the horrendous pain you caused
Supposed to love me, but we were constantly at war

Even as these thoughts roam, you're out at the bar
Didn't you ever realize, you can only push me so far?
No more will I weep, waiting for you to come home
Now I've reached the conclusion, I'm better of alone

And yet you keep trying, trying always to win me back
But everything I want {Respect, trust} is what you lack
Don't need your lies, or all of the trouble you stirred
Might as well shut your mouth now, it's to late for words

    "And yet you keep trying, trying always to win me back
    But everything I want {Respect, trust} is what you lack
    Don't need your lies, or all of the trouble you stirred
    Might as well shut your mouth now, it's to late for words"

    An effective, engaging and gripping final stanza. The manner in which you merged your emotions and expectations into the ultimate four lines was really well done. The structure was solid and the rhyming couplets worked successfully throughout. However, one quick point for 'improvement': In the title, the 'too' should have another 'o'. Other than that, this was a splendid read.

    Thanks for sharing! :) x

    I'll start with the negatives as there are not too many of them ..

    -Negatives-
    Title, first line and last line - "to" should be too
    Couple of rather questionable rhymes, although you are able to just about get away with it.
    See, told you there wasn't many.

    +Positives+
    Flow is excellent from the very first line to the last syllable.
    The story has been told innumerable times, and gets boring - "Girls loved boy, boy loved girl but left. Boy wants girl back, girl refuses"
    You are able to rise above the normal run-of-the-mill poems of this type with this piece. You liven the storyline up with beautiful use of vocab, bold daring rhymes and glaring visual images.

    ~Summary~
    Basic storyline with wonderful employment of techniques and skills makes this a thoroughly enjoyable read.
