A little too late

Feeling as though you're a little too late to realize something you should have caught onto an x amount of time ago.

The signs were there, 

right in the air,

the words you spoke as 

though you were harmless.

I should have known not to believe 

what you spoke of,

but how was I to know 

you'd be worse than what you warned me of?

You're out now, I've left you for good 

and forever, and yet I feel too late for it.

I can feel this one. I had someone speak sweet words to me only to realize she was playing with my emotions. It still has screwed me up to this day.

I'm sorry to hear that, but hopefully the pain has taught you something throughout time. You'll bounce back, I'm sure.

This flows like a gorgeous song. Like a flexible, wicked little tune that I can’t get enough of. The poem in of itself is so nice to read, it was like eye candy for my ears, but with so much more substance. This poem shows clearly how love can be ever so tricky. It has this light, airy feel to it that add onto it. Realizations can be some of the biggest moments in our lives. They are such power-waves of emotions and hold such a punch to the gut. I love how you shown this here, and love the way you showed how big they can be. Thank you so much for sharing. (:

Life and love is never easy. We always learn too late. I liked the honest thoughts and emotions. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Thank you for your feedback and your thoughts. It is very true, both life and love is never easy, and yet some people make it seem as if it is from afar. I think as long as we learn in the end, how long it takes doesn't seem to matter, though it doesn't make it sting less when the realization of something that should have been known beforehand is later on.

You are welcome dear poet.
