Please put down Your shovel
Stop causin' me trouble
Quit diggin' holes in my heart

The more You burrow deeper
My breathing growing weaker
You dug my dignity from within me
Please, I beg You, depart

You're unearthing my will to live
Excavating my desire to give
Tunneling through what I thought I knew

What I thought I knew about me
About You
About We
About whoever I wanted and needed to be with

You've sifted through my tears
My smiles
My fears
Scooped out all You could get for Yourself

Piercing, penetrating
My being now concave
Just ******* leave
Why do I have to beg?

Take Your *****
Go do Your gardening
Leave me behind
My heart will be hardening
What little there is left
I'm afraid now
You've drilled a hole right through my chest
