Time Heals

Like a withered rose laid bitter 
on a dark winter with all my petals fell 
with the autumn wind.
Will I grieve forever, the loss? Shall it bring back 
my life whole again in spring?

Part of me fell apart like a crunchy 
autumn leaves and waiting for another 
season to sprout the same, after a long 
hibernation of sufferings...
in a cold winter nights of sorrowing.

In reality, the grieve was still there, 
haunting forever until the season folds, 
no matter how hard I rebuild back my life, 
the brokenness was still there and 
will never be whole again.

But, my spirit will remain withered,
from the painful grief.
A deep scar of sorrow, left my heart,
ripped. How can I move on 
to make myself strong? Tell me how...
