Now It's Too Late

Now it’s too late

I see nothing anymore it would seem
The earth’s beauty has been deemed unworthy
Black and white with some gray in-between
No colorful joys memories within
I reach for your arms to embrace
Only for you to draw back and leave m in this place
Something has changed inside me
Maybe it just because you are no longer beside me
Feeling something like human touch
Is fake and cold like the stone floor of my cell
Looking for any source of pure light
But all I see is tainted shadow
The screams and yells keep me awake
Late into the night they never cease
Hair along my flesh stands to attention
As phantom hands slide along
Your voice murmuring faintly to me unknown to others
I took your presence for granted
Didn’t listen to my own heart
When it screamed for me to tell you
Even as I lay me down to sleep
I will dream of that day
When I looked into your eyes
Feeling my heart shatter
As you told me you love her
We knew we were the best of friends
But when did I fall so fast?
I’m sorry I never told you just how much I cared
Time is moving faster as our days here get shorter
Looking around once more in my prison cell
I think of all times we spent together
But now as I sit here in the cold darkness
Soon they will come for me
To bring me before them and they will judge me
Yelling at me blaming me for this crime
Screaming to put me to death
Who would ever believe I was innocent?
That I never killed the girl you loved
But it was you that killed her
The day I told you I loved you
