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
