They say the passage of time 
will heal all wounds, 
but the greater the loss 
the deeper the cut 
and the more difficult the process
to become whole again.

The pain may fade,
but scars serve as a reminder
of our suffering
and make the bearer
all the more resolved
never to be wounded again.

So as time moves along
we get lost in distractions,
act out in frustration,
react with agression,
give in to anger,

and all the while we plot and plan as we wait to get stronger, and before we know it, the time passes.
We are healed. Ready to begin anew.
