Whoever came up with the lie
that time heals everything.
It doesn�t heal the pain
in my heart.
Time dulls the pain,
but the pain still remains.
Reminding me.
Everyday.
Not letting me forget
how it used to tear my heart apart.
Shattering it completely.
The fire has reduced
to embers.
But touch it and it still
burns you just the same.
And it never goes away
for something always
manages to keep it from dying.
