I am Bitter With Time

I have seen days that have 

melted 

right in my hands, scarring me 

as though the were acids, 

freaking acids of time 

crawling under my skin, 

craving for my soul 


I have seen time wedge itself 

across the tightest places, 

a bond of people who loved each other 

acids of separation, 

excuses that did not make sense 

and when love is gone 

you discard pride and rudeness 

and replace it with some undying love 


I am not bitter with time 

I am bitter that it doesn't wait for me 

I want it to stop for a while 

I want it still, yet keep me breathing 

because I want to resume living sometime 

later
