Time Cannot Heal

TobaniNataiella

Time Cannot Heal.

 

The lies, The names.

The ridicule, The games.

They hurt.

They cause pain.

Yet time can heal.

 

The arguments, The attacks.

The knife in the back.

They hurt.

They cause pain.

Yet time can heal.

 

The put downs, The dishonesty.

The days of constant misery.

They hurt.

They cause pain.

Yet time can heal.

 

The abuse, The cheating.

The constant deceiving.

They hurt.

They cause pain.

Yet time can heal.

 

My heart that I gave.

That you threw away.

That hurt.

That caused pain.

Time cannot heal.

The pain will stay.

    The message is received and heard I have felt it but even this time can heal

    Thank you for your comment

    That brought me to a choice, a summation that should we choose it, Time could bring about a distancing that could parallel healing. The other choice stands as well. Sometimes to remain wounded is for some the only way to feel something ever again.

            You are right.Time does not heal anything.I think that we are meant to suffer for what reason I don't know

                    The myth that "time heals all wounds" is a foolish attempt at consolation. At best, sometimes it can mitigate. Oh well. nice work.

                      I enjoyed my visit here today .. and before I go on, just wanted to let you know that .. I also suspect from you avatar, you may follow a Buddhist path or at least be familiar with some of our Princes teachings .. Unfortunately, I am too tired having had a long day and night (hence my late visit here) but had I been more alert may have written some of the more salient points he wrote about pain and suffering, not necessarily for you, but for any others that may follow me here .. Kindest of regards, Neville πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

                        This reads like my life! I totally understand and hope it’s more based on fiction than fact!
