Nobody will know until it’s too late

Until I’m on the floor

My breath depleting

My soul gone forever

No one can know

I’ll feel the touch of fingertips

Voices screaming

They will go unnoticed. Unheard.

I’m already gone

The sun will cast rays

Moonlight will fill the nights

Hearts will keep beating

Only one thing changes

It was too late.

Suddenly the earth starts to shift

People start to notice the fine print

Tiny words inscribed at the bottom

Starred with an asterisk

Realization will occur

They’ll think “maybe if I’d done this..”

Their mind will become an infinite sea

Wondering why and how

It will be ok.

Conclusions become voices in everyone’s head

Wonder will become a forever unanswered question

I want them to hear one thing…

They were too late.
