together

time is never fair.
there are no rules with her.
how long till you're handed back a slice of what used to be whole.
time is selfish.
time's agenda caters to no one other than herself.
she alludes to healing but never gives an expiration date.
a year.
1 month.
2 weeks.
hours.
time never tells.
yet everyone screams that all you need is her.
all you need is the perfect cocktail of time & space.
but these two are the reason alone is reassuring.
alone takes over when time doesn't send an RSVP.
alone pretends to have power and provides you with space.
at least,
that's what it seems like.
all the while time knows.
time knows alone is only a quick fix.

time is never fair.
because while sometimes you need her for flips in the calendar,
others it takes simply one row.
7 days.
12 days.
& before 30 you're gone.
surrendered.
time never tells.
when you've been captivated by words
time allows words to make you feel.
words knows what he's doing.
a silver tongue.
deception & persuasion
while time begs you to remember,
time knows words is only a quick fix.

time is never fair.
but time is all we have.
at least time is honest from day one
that she doesn't know how much
longer
you're together.
