It's Too Late
I told you how I felt so many times that I lost count.
"I love you." came from deep inside my soul.
You pushed me to the farthest reaches. Never once looked back.
Love returned would then have made me whole.
You told me that I cramped your style, that you were your own man.
I said I thought that you and I were one.
You laughed and threw out expletives I'd only read in books.
I cried so many tears I came undone.
So now you're counting costs and thinking that you'll hang around.
Well, listen. Don't you have a red hot date?
I know her name and address cause I've seen you there before.
So for reconciliation it's too late.
It's too late now for you to say you want to try again
To keep our home and family in tact.
It's too late for a lot of things concerning you and me
And don't think you can sway me with an act.
I see the tears and hear the pleas but they have no effect
On a heart that's cried a river over YOU.
It's too late for the tide to turn and Sweetheart you can bet
MY tears are gone this time. We're really through.

Thank you, Dear J, for opening this page of your past to us. Your life so beautifully proves that God's light can shine in & purify the worst messes we get ourselves into; sometimes we don't fall into them all alone. Our Past is NOT for nothing; the Past is NOT our fault; the Future is OUR responsibility. You have experiences & responses that many others need to know, especially in the ardent HOPE you have retained & made grow. Such a wonderful heart in such an expressive mind; how can this be? You are my inspiration. If only.... Teddy (see 'Searching').
"Poe" I'm not, nor "Rich" am I,
but I'll be famous, b'ye and b'ye !
