They said:
Time heals wounds of the soul.
I have yet to believe that.

The seconds move on
Relentlessly
Painfully
Without respite;

Without a breather
A vacuum to suspend
Myself - alone -
To forget and forgive:
If possible.

Time has passed
Since the day
You broke my life-
And,
No matter what
The wound deep inside
Within my soul
Is still raw.
