The days are passing

Slowly

But they are passing

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

Since disaster

Since everything changed

Since you spoke the words

That would bring about

The pain

A new week starts soon

As I get further and further

Away from

Day 0

Will it ever feel

Far away

No matter what happens

Be it good

Bad

Or downright painful

Time

Doesn't stop

Nothing will ever

Make it stop

Time

Heals all wounds

Oh please

Please

I beg you

Please

Heal mine

Not one

To rush the future

I want to now

Just this once

Can I?

Get me to a place

In time

Where I feel whole again

Where the pain is gone

Where I can walk around

As a person

Not a zombie

Belonging in the

Thriller video

It's as if

Some demonic force

Has skewered

My lungs and heart

And laughing gleefully

Is using them for

His shish-kabob

Let me leave

This torturous

Time

Where a box of Kleenex

Has become

My new best friend

Through the love

Of family

Friends

Even strangers

I survive

These days

Don't rush me

Don't push me

Don't tell me

What you think I need now

I know exactly what I need

I need time
