Time Will Heal

One twenty three 

In the morning 

That’s around the time the pain hits 

The memories wash over me like a suffocating ocean wave 

When the weight hits me square in the chest

When the tears flow heavy and true 

Around the time that I remember you

Breath in 

Breathe out 

Ignore the weight

And ignore the doubt 

Take as long as you need 

Because every minute that you sit in the overwhelming darkness

Every minute you lay on the bathroom floor tears falling from your chin

Every minute you spend wondering if you’re better off dead 

Is another minute bought for your priceless existence 

And the minutes add up to hours 

Hours to days 

Days to weeks

Weeks to months 

Months to years 

And time will heal 

Your pain and eventually, your fears
