How Long
(Is it Over Yet)
How long must I wait
before this pain will leave.
How long will it be
until your gaze no longer hurts me.

Is it over yet
Can I reawake to the world around me.
How long
before your touch no longer stings.
How long
until your presense isn't painful.

Is it over yet
Can't this pain just leave.
Long enough I've waited.
How much more time
Until the world is right again?
