Too Late

As hard as I try
as hard as I cry
I still can't seem to make things right.

She stares at me now with her big blue eyes
the darkness filling every inch inside.

I saw the pain, the suffering I held
a long time ago, and it seems I have failed.
My studdering halts, she's broken and stale
I tried so hard and I screamed and I yelled.

I made the mistake and left her alone
and there she wilted into the cold.
It was late at night and I felt so old
but there she was laying still on the road.

The life she had was now at an end
she tried so hard, but there she lay dead.

Yes it was her that had died
I felt as if I too had no life.
Here I sit smiling just full of light
I hold the mourning deep in these lies.

I wish for forgiveness of my dear friend
I still hear her singing deep in the wind.
Looking up to the night sky, I smile and wave
I know someday I will see her in heaven.
