It'll hurt until it doesn't, and that's the only truthful answer I can give you.
***** anyone who says to get over it.
That it should take "this long" or "that long".
It takes
As long as it takes.
It will tear you apart inside every **** day,
Until suddenly you notice that you spent an hour without thinking of it.
And then a few.
And then a week,
And
Quickly and slowly,
You realize your wound has scarred over.
It'll hurt until the day it doesn't.
That is the only truth.

Sight's before me sorrow's my vision
Old and the needy stay sitting
Waiting for fate
Waiting their future
In a place no one wants to be

Welcome to the badlands
A place where time has fell
Life has stopped
My bowed head can do no more
As children cry for peace

I seek solace in the extortion
A tepid flavored liquid does nothing
To lighten me
So now my only focus is the death bin
My only aim for this putrid vile  

Breath as I do
Nothing is hiding
Every all is waiting
Only the sharp may satisfy
My woe

Time is waining
The urge to scream has bubbled
The badlands holds me
Bait's my anger
Teases my rage

Stick me
Heal me
Boost my glowing
Seed my life
Let me go

The voice is near
My name to call
Escape my fear
Cure us
Cure us all

Trinkets of touch saved for memories keeping
Traces of love we now lock in our hearts
Days never end as the mornings beginning
Tears find their path in our moments apart
~
Catching a glimpse of the barren horizon
Wondering what it will bring to our eyes
Simply the thought of the one true affection
Caught in the stars that do light up the skies
~
Here as I sit on this beach ever changing
Lost in the mind is the essence of proof
Moving my feet, causing ruts in the sand floor
Noticing nothing aside from the truth
~
Why does it seem that this life wallows empty
Every day is the same only more
Swiftly the clouds bring the rain’s chilly vision
Dreaming of only the one I adore
~
Drinking the drops in the puddles of reason
Splashing against all that I’ve ever known
Capturing dreams in a spoon that is leaking
Now as I write in these words all alone
~
Hard to believe that a flower is blooming
Fragrance as sweet as the heart beat we share
Chains bear the lock that does keep me from reaching
Look but don’t touch is the warning...beware
~
I long to run down the path of decision
Challenge my fear in this soft ocean breeze
Finding a cave at the edge of the mountain
Placing my soul in the shadows to breathe
~
Only my heart keeps me here by the wayside
Hoping beyond every truth that does form
Lasting the pain of this fearless affection
Keeping my place in the face of the storm
~
Proving to no one’s un-answering questions
Feeling ashamed as I’ve nothing to show
Still I will wait on the eve of my lifetime
Promising always that I’ll love you so
~
For I am a man who does desperately need you
There is no other that I’m thinking of
Here I will sit till the world it is ending
Counting the days till I know your sweet love
~
Why can’t we meet at the same destination
Drink of the day that affords us the view
Forget the world and its many distractions
Except for this love that I hold here for you
~
