How Long Does it Take?

How long does it take to heal a broken heart?
Because this pain of mine seems to be getting old.
I don't even remember the feeling of being in love.
I just remember having it taken, as my heart was being ripped apart.
And never again feeling his warmth.
Just cold in strange darkness, wondering what exactly it was that had happened.
Pondering and waiting upon his return.
Knowing as well as him, that day will never come.
Yet here I lay, in the darkness, now my home, waiting just waiting.
Sometimes, I wish I could fall in love again, but no matter what I still love him.
So how long does it take to heal a broken heart?
In a perfect world it would be at the end of this poem.
