something like erosion.

[disconsolatelove]

how long does it take for the soul to wear down,
skin to wear thin,
emotions run dry?
how long does it take to stop caring at all,
to wallow in sin,
to no longer cry?
how long does it take to shut them all out,
hold yourself in,
pass them all by?
how long does it take to change how you live,
stop the raging within,
that makes you question 'why?'

Very nice poem, disconsolatelove! Liked it much.... Your username's really cool too, actually; good choice, there.
