How Long...

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?
