just give it time...
you say
time...
heals all woundsΒ you tell me.

are you even thinking
about the words
that apparently
bypassed  your brain

time... kills everything,
love
hate
life
joy
even misery can't hold on forever

so the sage advice
that rolls carelessly
off your tongue
to make you feel
as if you have somehow
done your duty
just makes me want to smack you

that kind of advice...
is like telling me
to watch cancer happen
