how many more mornings
will I wake up and not see the sun
because the clouds of loss brought
shadow into my life?

How often will I remember
the laughter when you held me
and the tears when you said
Goodbye?

how many nights will I lay
huddled into myself
crying silent tears
Because you are no longer here?

How did you make me feel so cherished
and in the end make me feel like nothing?

how long do the memories
remain so clear
sneaking into my thoughts
and making a good day go sad?

how long does it take
to heal a broken heart
so that it might be strong enough
to someday love again?

how can I mean nothing to you?
how could you lie to a heart like mine?

how does it feel to know
you were the first
to get beyond my defenses
only to shatter my soul?

'how long does it take
to heal a broken heart'


There's a part of me that wants to say -
Oh, about 6'2" ...  

But ... sometimes it's not that easy~
And ... sometimes it is ! !

Sounds like a wolf in sheep's clothing to me. Enjoyed this very much. Really like the way you write.
