Time Tide and Man
Time, they say, a healer of all wounds
Yet here I stand, all this while
Convinced, the greater the loss, the deeper the cut
Hence, the more arduous the process, to be whole again.
Now I know, the pain may fade
Yet scars will remain, reminding me of my suffering.
But again, now I am all the more resolved;
Never, will I be wounded again.
So leave me be, let me act out in frustration,
react with aggression, and get lost in distractions.
Touch me not, for my anger now, is unending
And all the while, I brace and plan to grow stronger
I must toughen my skin, to go back and face the world.
Time, they say, passes before we know it
And with it, we are healed.
Yet I, know differently.
My demons live and lurk in the shadows
But I am rather ensconced in different pursuits
Leave my heart unfazed, let it beat.
Perhaps I prefer it so, perhaps it is too broken to mend.
We are not kin,
we are just two gentlemen bidding goodbye to each other
You knew my heart and I yours
Life, we lived side by side
I called you friend, and you called me brother
So sleep well, I hope, and whilst you rest,
I will bring pride and honor to your name
Fear not, shut your eyes, and be rid of all the misery.
Feel my palm upon your chest rest
Fear not, my friend, I will leave the lamp on
For I’ll be last to leave.
But breathe to me, please tell me your last words o wise one.
But fear not, for I know, it is Peace at Last.
