Time
Time is not a friend.
Time does not heal all wounds.
Time does not make you forget.
Time does not stop the hurt.
Time does not stop the memories.
Time does not......stop.
A smell,
a song,
a forgotten note,
a picture.
All of these things can erase all of the progress to move forward.
No, time has nothing to do with it.
The only relief is nothing lasts forever.
Eventually you breathe again,
smile more,
and eventually your heart turns to stone.
That one reminder why it was that way to begin with.
Time gives us lessons,
a manual on how to navigate the future.
Now it is "time" to move on.
