So they say
It will all get better in time
It’s helpful, it will heal
It will all get better in time
So they say, but time steals
It will give to solace and peace
Give you hope, give you distance
It is healthy to mourn and grieve
So they say, they’re persistent
It will all become your past
Make you stronger hereafter
Build you up, thicken skin
So they say, build character
It will give you space, give you peace
To make you grateful and greater
Turn your hurt from hate, tears to joy
So they say, a hope creater
You’re better off now
Without them, without circumstance
Without knowing, without love
So they say, dancing the dance
You’re far better off
Without that in your life
Without the joy? Without the comfort?
So they say, but I’ll not buy it
You’ll be happier without them
They were never right for you, we knew
You deserve better any way
So they say, to me, about you
So much happier without them
You were worth so much more
Get them out of your system, altogether
So they say, but my heart ignores
Time heals
So they say
It’s just your past
So they say
You’re better off without
So they say
You’ll be happier
So they say
But time won’t heal
My hear won’t fix
The past is always present
And this new ‘happier’ is a trick
So they say
So they say
As they always do
But I’ll never wish you into my past
Yet I hope to be happy without you

I’ve been an avid reader and scribbler for years but only recently started thinking about publishing my work.
I’ve always enjoyed writing and have, since 2008, been producing scripts for theatre as my main focus of writing, but always scribbling poems, songs and short stories for fun, and/or catharsis. I’m also a keen sketcher and sketchnoter.
