Too Late Poem by Katrina Lusk

She says she's okay, she says she's alright.
She says she has forgiven you
for all the hurtful things you said that night.
But you hurt her, can't you see?
She loved you, but you didn't want forever truly.
Your words tore her apart.
Ripped out every feeling she held within her fragile heart.
You crushed her hopes and smashed her dreams.
...
Now she stares at her reflection in the mirror.
Not knowing what true love or life really means.
She's trying to pick up the pieces of who she used to be.
Not a day goes by that she doesn't think of you.
The pain comes back, stabbing her like a knife.
She looks outside to see a world where it always rains.
She sits in her room asking herself what she has left to gain.
...
She takes her friend out,
the sharp object to which she loses all control.
The cold metal against her skin is enough to drive it in.
As she cuts into her flesh, her body begins to feel refreshed.
The tears streaming down from her eyes,
don't worry they are from all of your lies.
...
She wonders what it'd be like to reach the end.
To not have to worry where she needs to begin.
She realizes that she can't take her own life.
It is worth so much more than all of this strife.
...
Yet it doesn't stop the hurt and confusion,
that she feels deep inside.
Did you ever think of the life that could have been lost,
due to your dishonesty and unreliability.
She loved you with all of her heart...
But after one too many lonely nights,
she got completely lost in her own mind.
She would've given her all to become what you wanted her to be.
...
Now it's too late.
She's too far gone from everything,
to makes sense of this beautiful place.
Let alone the greatness in God's glory.
