Time is relentless. You can’t defeat time. But can it heal the pain of betrayal by the person you love? A gulf of separation. An abyss of betrayal. And only the eyes of the loved one in the eyes of my children, his children—only they are the ones you can trust. They will forgive everything. Or… is there hope? Her eyes chase me in dreams. A voice dragged her out of hell. She isn’t in my hands—she is my worst nightmare. For seventeen long years she lives in it. Only playing hide-and-seek with death lets me switch off. And only my eyes on the faces of her children give hope. Cover images from pixabay
