How long before
catharsis sets in?
before this dull ache
lulls itself into
a quiet throb?
before thoughts
that rush at me
slow down
into a distant memory?
before the grief
of betrayal genuflects
in the face of
forgiveness?
How long before
I forget?
How long before
I forgive?
How long before,
once again,
I live?
