Give Me Time

They say that time
Heals all wounds,
But what if it's time
That leaves me hurt?
What if
In this case
Time isn't the hero,
But the villain?
It leaves me time
To dwell on past mistakes,
Time to harm myself
With thoughts of pain.

Time is not my friend,
It is my enemy.
Time does not heal me,
It destroys me.

You just have to give Time some time! "Prayers nor potions, Pills nor lotions, Time heals best!" Trust me, you will be fine. It's only a matter of time!!!!!

Maybe. But for me, it's only been making it worse.
