Midnight Poetry (2): Dark Poems With Concealed Motivation

5. Too Late

When I was a kid no one was there
To hear how my day was
Now that I have learned to wipe my own tear
You say you love me and accept all my flaws
Didn't care when I drowned in despair
Now my loneliness or self-sufficiency you want to pause

You expect my long-lost love to arouse
Because though late, you finally feel awake
When I feel uneasy you raise your eyebrows
Cause the only language you know is give or take
Now that I don't care whether you allow
You want me to hang my mental health at stake

That too for you
The one who destroyed me
I know my trauma was true
Isn't easy watching your only trustee flee
I remember all that I suffered through
And how I rose from my own debris

I can't erase the trauma from my brain
Just because you said you were sorry
I can't cope, can't dull the pain
Hug you while watching a night that's starry
From me, now, you can't snatch the reign
Expect me to go blindfolded in your Ferrari

Where were you when I was in need?
Don't say you couldn't see, were you blind?
You never showed up, let me bleed
Now you want the place in my heart which you resigned
Now that it's too late, for it, you beg and plead
Why don't you give up on twisting my mind?

The day I forget it, I will forgive you
Five years and it still haunts me
No matter now, what you say or do
You have broken our relation beyond repair, can't you see?
No one was ever there to hand me a tissue
Now you want me to believe your fake guarantee

Some mistakes can't be corrected
Saying sorry now won't help clean up this mess
You want us to still be connected
This hypocrisy, I just can't process
Look how much, me you have affected
How can you still hope for our relation to be a success?

I know all about your hypocrisy
Give up your dream of tricking me again
This world lives on democracy
You can't tell me what to attain
Over are the days of your aristocracy
I know what is truly behind that fake love's veil

You can't undo the things you did
Yet want me to forgive and love you
Show up after a goodbye we both bid
And now say your love was true
Then, why couldn't you care for that kid?
Who had your name in a heart as a tattoo

You want us to reunite
Now that our lives are separate
You left me in the night for your light
Now question why my trust is delicate
Now you want it all to be alright
But honey, now it's too late

Hey there depressed souls! 

This Saturday poem was exceptionally long. I mean 400 words for a poem? That's a bit too much even for my standards. But I was just so proud of this one that I couldn't stop writing it and giving it a proper ending. I really loved writing this one and I hope you enjoy reading it just as much. 

If so, feel free to Vote, Comment and Share it to support this young poet. I hopefully didn't miss this update like the previous one.

I had read a quote, 'Sometimes a simple sorry is enough for a billion mistakes but sometimes, a billion sorries aren't enough for one mistake'. I found it to be really deep and started writing this poem with the quote replaying in my mind. Slowly, it all started coming together and the poem made its own identity.
