How long?

How long shall it take me, to see my mistake,
from this shield of blindness, when shall i awake.

How long shall it take, my heart to heal,
when shall, i realize that I need to deal.

How long shall I be stuck in this situation that I can’t escape,
when over my shoulders, shall a feeling of love drape.

How long shall I have to live with this hurtful regret,
when shall I learn not to worry and fret.

How long shall I wait, for you to exit my mind,
when shall I realize, love has made me blind.

How long shall it be before I learn that you mean what you said,
when shall I learn that you were only messing with my head.

How long shall it take until my heart is set free,
when shall I realize that you will never love me.

How long shall I sit here and wait for you,
when shall I realize that I have better stuff to do.

How long shall I wait until I can let you out of my life,
when shall I realize you are serious about his strife.

How long shall I be held behind these bars of your hate,
when shall I finally give up, on you being part of my fate.

How long shall I sit here, writing poems you’ll never read,
when shall I realize that, you’re something I want, not something I need!

love,
somebody who thought you cared!
