Too Little — Too Late

Kurt Philip Behm

Not so much

a lie

with little

truth to tell

 

Not so much

goodbye

with greetings

gone to hell

 

Not so much

romance

with feelings

dead or pawned

 

Not so much

to dream

with sleep

— bereft and gone

    Somehow Kurt I think I've been there before. Loved the poem it reads very well and makes a lot of sense to anyone that has lived life
