Erika Raiken Poet Prose Poetry

Time Heals All Wounds, But It Doesn'T Rid the Scars

Faith lost, love failed
All because of what's unveiled.
And in this pain I have been jailed.

It was not you, it was all me
And no one else will ever see
How these things all came to be

But now it's lost, now it's gone
I watch the sky for signs of dawn
Yet I never played you as my pawn.

I hid in dark, I hid in lies
I kept it all from dark brown eyes
I now await for harsh goodbyes.

No one will see, no one will hear
The reasons I held these secrets dear
Yet visions' still blurred by means of tears

I watched you rise, I watched you grow
And that's why you did not know
The deceit I had yet to show.

It was your laugh, it was your smile
That kept me quiet all the while
Trudging every single mile

You own my soul, you own my heart
I can not bear for us to part
Let me help the healing start

I am a human, I am a girl
And mistakes come about and whirl
Causing rivers of silver pearls

You do not believe, you do not trust
This healing process is a must
The reliance will rise up from the dust

It will take long, it will take time
And many, many clocks will chime
Until our love's back in it's prime

I love you now, I love you forever
Please let us spend it all together
I want to part not now, not ever.
