![]() And One Day You Will Grow Another Heart (Words to A Friend)A Poem by paradoxical![]() I can only say this.![]() There are no words that will give you a reason to let go. And I cannot tell you how to move on. You'll get no such advice from me. I'm useless. I can only warn you of what you are already starting to realize. People with good intentions will give you long-winded, heart-warming, cliche consolations. They mean well, but all words to you now will only ring empty as the meaning behind them. And you might get angry, maybe even feel self-righteous. Bullshit tends to provoke that reaction. Because time heals no wounds. Time simply moves along, forcefully dragging you with your toes dug deep into the past and your little arms wrapped tightly around someone who is no longer there. Time does not care. It's your only honest ally, and even it will trick you. That abyss; the place that used to be home to anothers heart, will now and forever remain silent and full of the things they gave you and the words you left unspoken. There is no healing. There is no replacing. There is just regret. My friend, it is just beginning. Every single day, for now and the distant future, your greatest battle will be to get out of the bed in the morning and keep breathing. As the moments, the hours, the days and the years sludge by, you will just gradually get used to the hole being there. You will just adapt to the sad sound of memories ever present, ever inaudible. For a long time, that's as good as it will get. But that's okay, isn't it? They earned it. Damn it, they deserve at least that. © 2012 paradoxicalAuthor's Note
