Eternal Vestige

Bright “Time heals” quotes  
Only made my waiting dismal,  
Pointless clock,  
Broken pendulum,  
A lifetime ticking in vain.  
Slowly rotting in despair,  
As if I’m unworthy  
For the years to embrace me,  
For the months to mend my shards,  
For the weeks to cure my wounds,  
For the days to treat my scars,  
For the minutes to wipe my tears,  
For the seconds to hush my ache.  
Left with undying remnants,  
Imprinted marks of anguish,  
Sharpened claws of nightmares,  
Tucked beneath my pillow—  
An eternal vestige.
