It will pass?

I have been telling them, it will pass,

But I am not sure if it will.

For "time" heals everything is an illusion,

A convenient comforting lie.

Do they think I am invalidating their pain?

Do you think I am?

Is comfort what they seek right now?

Or am I just being untrue to myself?

I have been there. I should know.

But I am not sure if it has passed for me.

Or if it will ever pass.

I ain't sure if "time" has managed to heal it.

What do I tell them, then?

That the pain will linger,

And you will learn to live with it.

Is that the truth? 

Or is it another comforting lie, 

that we are made to believe is true.
