How Long?

by Unknown2Thyself   Oct 28, 2005


How long can you hold a smile in place?
When there is nothing to smile about.
How long can you pretend that ever thing is alright?
When you'd rather be laying six feet under ground.

How long can you hold your breath for the one you love?
When the one you love bets you to an inch of your life.
How long can you ignore the words they whisper about you?
When each day you cut deeper then the last.

How long can you live?
when thoughts of suicide are on your mind
How long can this perfect world of ours stay perfect in our eyes?
When we are slowly killing it little by little.

How long before everything comes crumpling down?
How long before we realize that this world is dieing?
How long before death takes us all?
