Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans. Not that it really matters. This has so little to do with the Teen Titans, it's almost funny.
A/N: Okay, this is a poem I wrote a LONG time ago about a true, personal event. As you will be able to tell once reading it, it struck me pretty hard. And thus, I wrote a poem about it. And I discovered once finishing it that it sounded a lot like BB writing to Raven. So there.
Some of you may actuallyrecognize thispoem, as I posted it about three months ago. However, I took it down due to emotional reasons. I finally decided to repost it for you guys to read after getting a number of e-mails asking me to do so. So, here you go. My sad, emotional, loving poem, "Too Late".
Enjoy.
Too Late
Too late, I realized that I would miss you
Too late, I knew just what it meant
Too late, I found myself lost and afraid
With no one to guide my way
Too late, I found what I meant to you
Too late, you found what you meant to me
To you, I was love incarnate
To me, you were the entire world over
Now it is too late for us both
It seemed by fate, we two were betrothed
And yet it was not fate that ripped us apart
But the sorrow and weakness
Of my bleeding heart
We were as the yin and the yang
So different, and yet still the same
The sun and the moon used to describe us
Together forever, till one failed to rise
Too late, I realized what I had done
Too late, I caused the moon to crash down
And thus caused no rise of the sun
Destroying your hopes and your dreams
So different, and yet so alike
I was the joker, the optimist
You were the dark, quiet and withdrawn
And yet we were the same in more ways than one
Too late, I realize the pain you felt
Too late, I feel the suffering and sorrow
I wanted to always be there,
I wanted to heal the wounds that you bear
And yet it was I that forced us apart
I was the one who said good-bye
I was the one who broke your heart
and you died right then and there
You were always there for me,
to help me when I was down
You were always there for me,
To fix my broken frown
And I wanted to always be there for you,
To show you the world, pure and true
I wanted to be the light, leading your way,
Guiding you to never go astray
Too late, I realized what this meant for us
We are separate, and our feelings are dust
Too late, I realized what I had done
I destroyed our love, and now you are gone
So many things are left unsaid
I wish I could have a second chance
I never expressed my true feelings for you
I never even got to say good-bye
I saw more of your emotions
Than you thought you showed
But I learned more from the ones I DIDN'T see,
than from the ones that I did
Too late, I thought about us broken
Never together, never to be
Alone in a world without any light
Only darkness surrounds us, only the night
The pain cannot end, nor will it ever
Until the day we are once again together
But until that day I wish to say
I love you, Raven. And I always will.
Too late, I realized the most important lesson of all
The lesson that leads so many to fall
The lesson that leaves so many to long:
You don't know what you have, till it's gone. . .
I will always love you, Raven.
A/N: Well, hope you liked it. Also hoping it didn't make you cry! Consider yourselves lucky that I actually re-posted this.
Review, please!
