Late

Such a little niggle

The tiniest of touch

So easy to brush aside when everything looks up

But blossomed into chaos

The icy hands of rage reach deep into your system

And pull a piece away

So far away

And it's not coming fast enough at all

And it ain't easy to break through that wall

It's not always better to keep those thoughts at bay

You know what they say - it's never too late

To wash away the pain

To make it all okay

To start again and clean the slate

One too many counters to knock you right around

Splitting hairs halfway to find that middle ground

Endless frustration at another compromise

You want to feel, want to live

Want to see with those eyes

I look into your smile and there's nothing in there to see

You seem so distant to me

You know what they say - it's never too late

To wash away the pain

To make it all okay

To start again and clean the slate

And I know you need some space to try it your way

But I'm scared you'll go astray

What am I supposed to do? Sacrifice my goals?

What am I supposed to do? Stand by and let you go?

Never…

You know what they say, it's never too late

But the past has had its way

The leaves have blown and winters here to stay
