Time Heals

Time heals, that's what they say
Though I want to agree, it's hard to do;
My mangled heart heaves still
From the pain you inflicted to your "most dear".

But don't worry, I can reciprocate
What you gave to me, I will return:
Mental destruction- emotional, too,
Just so we're equal and nothing more to pursue.

Time heals, that's what they say
Now, I know it is true
My mangled heart beats again
With promising possibilities from men so near.

Anger, I no longer have,
Just the deep understanding
That comes when time heals
All wounds-- even from her most dear.
