How Long Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

How long,
Can we go on...
Being
Deceiving!

And how long,
Can we keep strong...
When we're receiving,
This pain.
Our heartache is all that remains.
And, we pay!

Just how long,
Can we go on...
Being
Deceiving!

For how long,
Can we keep strong...
When we're receiving,
This pain.
Our heartache is all that remains.
And, we pay!
With wishes it all goes away!

And, we pay!
With wishes it all goes away!
