- Numbness
-
- Time heals.
- They reassured me constantly.
- They never mentioned that
- Time erases.
-
- Love that I had tried to yank up by the roots,
- Yet which clung tenaciously for months on end,
- Is gone.
- Withered and faded to dust,
- No longer defining me.
-
- I am only the sum of my memories.
- This healing has lessened me.
-
- I want to have my misery back.
