Time passes
Slowly, painfully so.
I know what I must
And I wish I knew less.
You said stay when you meant go
Now it’s go when you mean stay.
I do this for me.
For me alone.
What must happen will,
What’s done is done
Time will pass,
Heal things that are all but forgotten.
Pain is but a symptom,
Of life
Cured only by death.
I leave because I must.
To say I shall return would be misleading.
To say I trust would be a lie.
I do this for me
Because I should have before,
Because I never have done for me
Because I love me.
Time has passed
But not enough,
And yet too much.
You waited too long
And now I do for me.
I am me
I am again.
Time will pass
Heal.

angelicminxalmost 19 years agoExactly where I am in my life. Agree with Du Lac, though. A little more polish and it will sing. Kisses, sweetheart! ~Minx
Bridget69almost 19 years agomessage about self-reliance and independence. That we must not live for others, but for ourselves.
Anonymousalmost 19 years agoThe subject is emotional here and has some nice spots in the writing. Maybe if the work was broken into stanzas and omitting repetious wording the work would have a stronger footing to relaying the message that hides behind these walls. A little editing and I feel the voice of this work will sing.
Nice work
