She's Too Far Gone

She’s too far gone, away from me and what was to be. All the many moments that glimmered gold and ran free Through the beginning of a beautiful bond begun In the café that Tuesday with a simple smile that spun My worn out world upside down. I had coffee she had tea. Eventually, the stars slid through her hourglass and she Grew tired of the toiling and holding on to a dream of me, More mature—more sane. I wonder if anything can be done; She’s too far gone To even listen to the desperate desperation in my plea To commandeer change, in a heart willing to make her see That we had it all and understand the love still left undone. Apologies! To the empty promises always kept—you never won! A fight about fate, our future—anything! Now I see, and must agree; She’s too far gone.
