Time passes, broken hearts heal
at least that's what they say...
Nobody warned me -
the scar remains.
That any reminder of you
is an unstoppable force
ripping... tearing...
devouring
the fragile threads
by which my life -
my heart
dangle.
In a flood of excruciating pain
My thoughts return to you.
What was - can never be.
But know like a phoenix,
I rise
a stronger person
from the ashes of the
life you left.
