Time

She needed time. 
Time to spend, just thinking. 
Thinking about time, 
But time was something she never asked for. 
Her days were filled up with anger towards time. 
Like times when she needed a friend 
With her mind at her last thread 
Her friends left her to dangle.
 The time her innocence was taken not by her choice and
 If only she knew that sometimes lies aren't trust. 
Time she misses now.
 Time she wasted on attitude and selfishness 
As the very person who she didn't mean to hurt slipped away,
 And she hated time.
 Their time froze. 
Time. 
The girl didn't get to trust in time,
 No she always attached it to something of negativity
 So she decided to forget.
 Not only was it effective
 She forgot the one thing she needed to do.
 Take time to remember to love herself.
