Time To Heal

Time to heal 
By Lady Arabella 

They say with time the pain becomes less
In a world full of chaos , hurt and lies  it became  such a mess
Sometimes you don’t want to give up and walk away 
But sometimes forgiveness can’t happen when things don’t change and you always stay 
They say sometimes you don’t realise what you had until is gone 
Sometimes you know in your heart you can’t take anymore and it’s just done 
It doesn't mean you wish them bad or Ill
But sometimes recognising they are not the person you thought is a bitter pill 
They say time heals wounds which  have been caused 
That time gives you opportunities to take a step back and pause 
That  with time the perception of pain can be altered 
 That time gives you Awhile with self, and  permission to be faltered ,
Sometimes the brain knows what the heart does not wish to admit 
It’s a question of How much more can you and  will you permit
And the answer to that question is no more 
Because I deserve someone who respects me and means what they say that’s for sure 
There’s something about disrespect you just can’t move past 
No matter how much you may have wanted things to last 
Sometimes what we feel isn’t what we deserve 
It all comes down to understanding your worth 
And for me I know  I’m a queen who deserves a king 
Not someone who lies , continues to hurt and is a vehicle  to everything 
Someone who will let anyone get in and take a ride 
Someone who doesn’t believe in themselves
Or has self pride 
Someone who thinks it’s okay to treat you any less 
Someone who will never recognise what you offer is the best 
So right now I need  time to heal the hurt they have caused 
  As When I think of  the person I once loved, I shudder , tremble, and know now those feelings  must be  paused.
I was never going to accept  or allow anything less 
But if  they are willing to then it will be on their time not mine and  I wish them  nothing but the best.
