How Long

by hell_raiser373

Rated: E · Poetry · Other · #1637220

Please Rate and Review.

How long can someone live in unhappiness
How long can one look for happiness and never find it
How long
Can someone resist the depths of depression
How long before the dark void swallows their heart and soul
Can someone resist the temptation of suicide
How long
Before they breakdown
Before they become empty
How long
Will it take
Will they be lost and alone
How long
Does the confusion last
Does it take for pain to break a heart
How long
