Amelia James Poetry

They say time heals all wounds

But if that were true

Surely I’d be over you by now

There is no place in time in which I can go

To where you have been, and where you aren’t

Memories of a haunted love

Lingers like a pungent smoke

If time truly heals all

A thousand lifetimes

Would never be enough

To forgive your transgression of my soul

Because there you are

And here I am

Strangers in passing

Lost forever to this unforgiving fog

Time won’t ever heal

This catastrophic wound

Your ghost forever bound to mine

You’ll always be mine but never was I yours
