Time And Tears Poem by Travis Peterson

Twisting the knife
With every word you speak,
Unlocked from inside
All the secrets you keep,
You have hurt all the ones
You say you loved,
You have turned aside all
The things given to you from above

You lied, cheated and stole,
So much from so many
different people,
no one there to hold you anymore
You have ushered them all out the door,
Second chances have long passed you by
Now all alone you'll sit and cry,
How can this get any worse
you ask yourself,
This pain will surely
Rot you from the inside,
From all the hurt you have delt,
The only cure now is time and tears
To mend the shattered soul
Could take years
