There's a cave in my heart,
And it echoes while I sigh.
I expected someone else
to fill the hollow, when they'd
hold me while I slept. But I lay
alone at night, with the cavern
gaping wide. I wrap my arms
around myself and try to hide
the cold draft blowing through
my chest, but I let my arms
fall,
and lay awake knowing that
no one else can make this pit
vanish.
