Time

Unkempt room, drawn curtain

Keeps away the winter sun

Stench of Jack

and cigarettes spent...

Under Sheets wet

and stained with sweat

I tremble and pine, a nightmare thought

A place where Hopes and dreams burn

Someone told me time heals everything

But Locked in my mind, 

Fresh struggles unfold...

This world around me, this reality

Where I'm losing hold

Holds no meaning...

Stare down at myself

This body ravaged by Time

Time corrupts

Your sense of guilt

Mind fortified, one cannot breach

Time destroys

The bridges you built

A barren island none can reach

It buries

Beneath layers of shame

Everything you ever held dear

And It burns

This present, even your name

A forgotten memory, devoid of speech

Three hands on the wall

Their plot complete, 

From grace I fall

So what exactly did time heal?

I'm so tired by the bigotry of it all
