Time Heals: A Poem

Time heals...

When I finally fathom what went wrong

When I finally accept that I, too, was wrong

Time heals...

When I don't hear you say,

"I don't love you anymore"

When I don't hear you say,

"I haven't really moved on"

Lies!

Time heals...

When I am free from all the hurt

And truly wish for your happiness

Till then...

I wallow in my despair

This poem was inspired by someone who was left devastated when the relationship she thought was meant forever ended without any reason or explanation.

She initially said that she was fine. Everything was fine. She tried so hard to put on this happy façade until she eventually broke down. She then realized that denying the pain won't help her move on. She finally accepted that she was hurt, that she was broken and needed healing.

Healing starts with recognizing and accepting the pain. She decided to embrace the pain, go through the difficult healing process, and trusted that time would help her heal. TIME DID!
