Five months on

Time is a great healer. Really?

Then why do I still feel broken,

Accute pain

within my my weeping heart?

I still don't understand why it had to start.

The wrong place, the wrong time

Ended with a knife through your heart,

An ocean of tears, hundreds of lives torn apart.

Moments of joy are interjected with shame. How dare I

Be happy, how dare I forget the past.

Even for one second

That you have breathed your last

Breath.

That you shall be forever young.

Not only does it suck. It is really wrong.

Whoever in this world said that "Time heals every wound" was surely not talking about love. Because when you truly love someone, you don't get over them. Simply, because you don't want to.
The poem describes that feeling of injustice and denial very beautifully.
Way to go, keep writing :)
