How Long Does It Take?
How Long Does It Take?
How long does it take to stop loving somebody?
How long does it take to stop wanting someone?
How long till it stops feeling like you are homeless
When you've lost that sweet heart that so long felt like home?
How long till the nights stop being eons of time?
And the days are long days that you wish would just end?
How long till it seems that your hopes and your dreams
Didn't die with the love in the eyes of your friend?
How long till the hurt doesn't hurt anymore?
For you no longer feel and you no longer care
And the sorrow and wrath and the pain makes a path
To the darkness that grabs you when there's nobody there?
I don't know all these answers, I cannot comprehend
What the world and it's schemes do to a woman and man
I have tried to decipher, I have tried to make sense
How one soul becomes two when one soul builds a fence.
Why can we not perceive when the devil comes creeping?
Why can we not see how he delights in love's death?
Why do we fight with each other, our true loves, our lovers
Instead of fighting that devil with our last living breath?
How long, oh my Lord, will this battle keep raging?
How long till the sun shines and never goes dark?
How long till we know we can trust one another
And not just trust one another to break each other's heart?
I have crawled back into my old shell of heartache
Where there is no sunshine and no drop of rain
Down to the desert of despaired desolation
Where the fantasy is pleasure and reality's pain.
How long will it be till I feel whole again?
How long till the world seems a safe place to live?
How long till I've taken all my soul can take
And my soul is refilled and has more love to give?
I do not love the nights now
I do not love the day
The nights when our hearts would softly whisper
And love would come to play.
I do not love the dawning
The joy that day would bring
I cannot hear the music now
I can't make my heart sing.
How long does it take to live again
And for a human heart to heal?
How long till those fantasies all fade away
Replaced by something real?
If no answer comes for me and no counsellor I find
If no angel comes down with a miracle and sign
If I was just foolish, perceiving no end or start
May all my records show that I lived even though
And I loved with all of my heart.

(written in a dream
and found today scribbled
on a piece of tear stained paper)
In memory of
someone I loved and always will
❤️
Like A Breath
Like A Breath
You're like a shadow
No one can see
Nobody knows you're there
No one but me.
You're like a falling star
Falling in dark
Waiting to catch fire
But finding no spark.
You're like a hunger
With no one to bite
Holding to nothing
But still holding tight.
You're like a grapevine
With no fruit on the vine
Needing planting and caring
In a garden like mine.
And I'm like a seer
That walks past you and sees
The heat in your coldness
The warmth in the breeze.
I'm like a doctor
That walks through your hell
Picks up your pieces
Wants you to be well.
And I'm like a lover
That your heart forsakes
A giver with passion
That your heart never takes.
And we pass and we pass
In the dark and the dawn
The shadow and seer
Moving onward and on.
You're a mist and a vapor
Like a soul never been
But to me you're the sweet air
That I long to breathe in.
And I wait for that midnight dark
Or that day without sun
When the shadow and seer
Like a breath, become one.
