Time soars
Hello time
Who told you to eat my children, suck my skin, dye my hair?
Who told you you could teach me a world
then take it away?
Hello time
What happened to my immortality? My deals with love? My belief that I would grow up?
Time heals all wounds, they say.
But I don't.
I say
Time takes all memories, leaving only histories
Time takes all scents, leaving only photographs
Time offers miracles,
But
Time eats my children
and I mourn them every time I look at them
because they are no longer who they were.
and I rejoyce them every time I look at them
because they are amazing as they are.
