BORN TOO LATE

By: Ella Kay

Can one endure pain
this deep...
and love?

Can the body survive
with no heart,
no soul,
just pain?

My silent screams
splash yellow
on the black canvas
of my soul...
TOO LATE....

I have just found you.
All the beauty
of love reflected
in your smiling eyes,
warm kiss,
your touch.
you love me.....

Torn from my arms
by time....
Born too late....
time has passed for me,
you move away,
slow down... I'm small

I love you......

A fleeting touch,
whispered words,
caressing glances...
gone

A promise calls you back.

Cold arms hold you prisoner
born too soon...
Loved too late....
