How Long Poem by Maggie Wolf

how long till...
my heart stops breaking
how long till...
my soul stops shaking
how long till...
these bad memories fade
how long till...
my heart is remade
how long till...
I can truly smile again
how long till...
my life can again begin
how long till...
these tears stop falling
how long till...
my ghosts stop calling
will these tears keep ever raining?
will my heart be ever paining?
