Time Passes
By Neeti Vashi


Time passes

But it doesn’t change a thing.

Your face is still vivid in my memory

Your voice, the sweetest melody

It’s a shame you don’t realize

That you’re all I need.

The feelings still present,

Though marked with scribbles of hate,

The penmanship deeply engraved.

Forgive me

For wanting you,

For believing the words that linger around your lips

Because it’s ending and it’s over

All at the same time

We grow and we lessen

In this exact routine

We’re in the same place we started

I know this because

I’m falling

And the only one I’ll allow to catch me is you

And I’ve been crawling

Through broken glass to get to you

And though the wounds on my palms may never heal,

I know that

Your arms are waiting to catch me.
