Too Late

Reckless dawn tugs hard
swollen and redden
restless eyes
wrung dry
and salted

Shameless roll
her credits
for the last time
and I'm left hanging
dangling to dream
of another season
or will it all just end

Clueless a mind cluttered
with every word uttered
no filter to weed
the filler from the cream
no voice left to scream
hopeless, anyways, it seems

New day awakens
melted down memories
ring true to size
the front gate closes
too late
there's no saying
goodbye
