liars

​.time troubles me
I forget it is not the same as space
in between
the places I've lived and the things
I've seen
time does not seam to actually
change
anything
I thought I could hide
far away
and that after a time
cease to feel this same pain
time has not accomplished
any of this
the longer I lived
the less I thought I'd miss
those I tried
to leave behind
I was told
that time heals wounds
 love fades
and life goes on
liars
liars all
who said these things
to a younger... more nieve
much less jaded version of me
and time has not healed anything
and why
when I
push the wound deeper within
my skin
every year
that has past
is hurts much more
deeply
than the last
and I was told that
time would heal
that I needed to allow myself to feel
that was how I'd be able to recover and carry on
liars
liars all
who said these empty words to me
and I believed
but time
has not accomplished anything.
