A Hole

A hole

You left one

Ripped through my soul

The contents leak out

Quickly at first

So they tell me to fill it, immerse myself

In anything and everything

And so I try, and so I fail,

Unfocused, distracted

Wandering thoughts keep wandering back

As if they've been given a map

Directing to my problems and pain

Going insane

Crazy, ****** asylum to follow

This house is not a home

How can I feel so alone

Yet I'm surrounded by the masses

People I know, friends, acquaintances

The sea of smiling faces and compassion encircle me

But all I feel is the pain, poking at me like a blunt sword,

Again and again

Nothing excruciating, but never letting me forget

How I let you in

And you dug your way out

And left a hole
