Time heals
That was remedy given me
Balm of words pressed against open flesh
They tried telling me, hold on
turn my mind to other things
Keep busy
Yet how? How do you walk away
You invested in much more
It wasn’t words
Was not a passing thought
Cling to the unchanging hand
But the pain is here it is now
Comfort your self in the honesty
But the pain is here now
Be at peace knowing that you understand why
BUT THE PAIN IS HERE NOW
It wasn’t just losing a partner
It was a friend
Stories told of futures
A shield I walked the world with
I pray it is that which
still shields you
This storm shall pass
yet I can only hear the thunder
I fight tears, fight rage
I am angry at my tears….my love…my anger
I write, I pray
I give it over
it does not stop the pain
I can not deny what it is that I am feeling
I can’t tell you, I can’t tell you
I know it hurts only because it was real
all things pass
I pray
Not this
