the Hole In Your Chest
Explain the chasm
that lurks behind a gaze-
a hole somewhere
a wound was made,
an adult that caused
a child's empty face
A price is paid by the one
who must take the pain
a price no soul
should have to pay
and to the end of your days
nothing can soothe the ache
Oh how we try to drown
how we try to just...
let it all out
oh how we try to
~crawl~
in silence/out loud
