As a child we’re told
It’s sticks and stones
That will break your bones
And words that will never hurt
But what happens when
Those words continue to ring in your ear
From the sharpest of tongues
Progressing through life
Still haunting you at every turn.

Grief and time is a paradox.
It feels like yesterday
You left me without a trace,
And yet it seems like forever
Since I’ve seen your face.

You have to be cruel to be kind
Just doesn’t make sense.
Unlike a gin and tonic.
If anything it’s oxymoronic.

You wanted a princess
And wouldn’t settle for less.
How could you have not seen
That what you had was a queen.

On the brightest of days you were by my side,
And on the darkness of days you chose to hide.

It was never going to take long
For the world to show us it’s colour
What was once blue and green
Just gets duller

I look up to the sky
Are you really there?
Are you around me?
Are you everywhere?
Near or far
I just know
That I want to be
Wherever you are.

If time is a healer
Why has nothing changed?
I feel the pain of your loss
Like it happened yesterday.
If time is a healer
Why does it feel worse?
Another day without you
On this lonely earth.
Time is not a healer.
When you took your last breath
The clock stopped ticking
The very moment you left.

They just weren’t you,
So I picked them apart
And threw the pieces on the floor.
If only I knew
They just weren’t you.

I was once a diamond in the rough.
I went through the dirt
And almost got stuck.
Yet I lasted the test of time.
Now watch me sparkle,
It’s my time to shine.
