How Much Longer

How much longer...till my emotional scars finally heal?
   Because wishing on fallen stars no longer seem so real.

How much longer...till my dark sky parts and the sun breaks through?
   I look deep within my heart, but there's no more you.

How much longer...till love finds me and the butterflies return?
   I'm trying to put the pain behind me, although I still feel the burn.

How much longer...till I feel the sharp sting of cupids arrow?
   Maybe cupid has a broken bowstring, or the gateway to my heart is too narrow!

How much longer...till I'm emotionally free, and the blood begins to flow once more?
   I guess I'll continually bury myself in my poetry, hoping to unlock that door!!

a wonderful and beautiful write this was, very refreshing. love happens as it will my friend. no one commands it or tells it when it is right and to happen, it simply does. just keep hope in your heart and find the beauty around you. well penned my friend (hey i rhymed ;)). --Madison

You'll be surprised, JAM! And you will remember this day I told you, "Be still". God will give you all that you deserve! All will be well for you! Just be patient, take your time, keep your heart open and true always! Love you, Audrey
