"Time Heals"
*What a lie,*
a thief’s promise, soft as rot
whispering *wait, just wait,*
while the wound forgets
how to close.
There is no end,
only the slow gnaw of absence,
a clock with no hands,
a sky with no dawn.
Every breath is her name,
every silence her echo.
I am a ghost
haunted by the living.
Time does not heal
it merely teaches the bones
how to ache
without breaking.
(But oh, how they bend.)
