There is a place your mind goes where everything hardens. Where a moment decides it is permanent and your chest believes it. This is it. This is all I will ever feel. This is the temperature of my life now. Sometimes it happens in the dark. The kind that presses against your ribs until breathing feels borrowed. You think nothing will ever change. Not tomorrow. Not in a year. Not in ten. But it also happens in the light. When you’re laughing too loud or the air feels warm and you tell yourself this is it, I’ve made it, I will be happy forever. The mind loves forever. It clings to it. It fears it. It invents it. We are dramatic like that. We turn moments into life sentences. And when it’s dark, people say the usual things. Be patient. Give it time. Time heals. Old words. Worn thin from repetition. And maybe they’re true. Maybe time does move things. Softens edges. Shifts the weight. But when you’re inside the feeling time feels slow. Cruel, even. Like it’s watching you struggle just to prove a point. You don’t feel healing. You feel stuck. Stuck in a version of yourself you didn’t choose. Maybe time is special. Maybe it carries everything forward whether we want it to or not. But in that strange, suspended place where forever feels real, all you know is this moment. And this moment feels endless.

Letter to tomorrow
Time heals all pain but some pain takes quite long to even subside For so long,my heart for your affection has ached This pain in my soul,not even for a minute has it disappeared Thoughts about the good times we had when things were still fine make the misery that lies deep within my soul awake Broken promises Broken dreams But still, Am hopeful After all,nothing lasts forever Can't help it but I have to let you go For my peace, I free memories of what was us.

Time Heals
i want to pretend i dont care, that watching you be happy with someone else doesnt makes my heart shatter. Call me selfish but i wish you were not because maybe in that way you would come back to me, to us. But then reality hits me and its that you are there with her and im here trying to find you in another person. Overcoming the pain your absence left has been a challenge but eventually i started doing it. My days have become bright, i can see far away a tiny light at the end of my tunnel. Its gonna take me time to get there but at least now the impossible seems more possible.

Small steps to my happiness
You once quoted to me, "Every storm runs out of rain." Little did I know you would be my hurricane.

Still Healing 8.12.17
it took a second for titanic to hit an iceberg it took 24 hours to sum up your day it will take a few minutes to make your caramel macchiato drink it will take you a second or two to finish up your lightened cigarette and it will only take a minute to brighten up someone else's day but how long will it take me to accept the fact that you're no longer mine.... maybe in days, weeks, months or a year I don't know.... but i know in time, I will

In Time
I learned long ago That we all belong somewhere. I belong to the Hurt To the lost To the broken To the depressed To the angry To the empty To the hateful To the hopeless Who knew one day I'd belong To the healed
