How Much

How much heartache must I feel
Before I can begin to heal

How much time will I grieve
Before happiness I once again receive

How much loneliness must I bear
Before life stops being unfair

How much more grieving must I do
Before I no longer miss you

How much pain can I take
Before I no longer wish to wake

How much do I have to hurt
Before I can be buried in the dirt
