Time heals, right?

Those burning eyes from tears,

those curled down lips,

the ache of a heart.

Time heals.

The hand without someone to hold,

the room missing a person,

the sleepless nights.

Does time heal?

Like a tissue for the tears,

a friend for loneliness,

a sleeping pill for the night.

Really, does time give that?

Giving the heart someone to beat for,

bringing joy to a miserable life,

getting someone to smile again.

Or is time supposed to make me forget?
