It has been said, ‘time heals all wounds.’ I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.

sitting here with you stuck in my head
on the edge of insanity
i stand
the unanswered questions
haunt me
i want to know who you were
i contemplate who you would be
would you have changed
or would you still be an addict

did you ever love me ?

i will never know
I'm empty
without your love
i am nothing
and that's exactly what i have become
NOTHING
