Too Late

I recall,
but wonder,if you do too.
We were walking together,when,
suddenly,a shroud of mist blinded us.
I lost your sight,
and called out your name.
Straining to hear the answering call,
I looked around within my range.

Your name on my lips,
and fear in my heart,
I tried to cut through the mist that made us part.

Time sped,
hope lost...
and you were nowhere,near or far.

And then you remembered,
your soul cringed
you came looking
and found me aching.

I wanted to say some,
you urged to hear
My throat was dry,
my voice croaked in fear

I crawled in my shell,
leaving you thus..
The veil that cursed my trust
just thrown between us...
