From the very beginning
we are told we have time.
Always being told to wait.
Don't rush to find love,
it will come to you in time.
Don't do what you want now,
do it later when your responsibilities
are done and squared away.
But we spend our whole lives
Waiting.
Thinking we have time
Time to find love
Time to find happiness
But life doesn't work like that
We are spiraling towards our demise
at a speed too fast to fathom.
One by one passing by opportunities
that we should have taken
Following each other as we go
on this unpredictable path that is
Life.
You may think it won't happen to you
but the fact of the matter is
We are all going.

The truth of it is-

he's not going to fix you

she's not going to make you forget
the way your father would hit you

He is not going to make your collarbones sprout roses
He will not make you forget how to need

The truth of it is-

She is not a savior
She is not able to fight off the demons in your dreams

He will not make you forget the way your mother left
The bloodstains in the bathtub will still be there

The truth of it is-
This is your life
This is not a movie

No one is going to swoop in and save you

You will have to grow your own wings if you want to fly away

— The End —
