Holes
There is a hole in my heart
where once
so brief
there was a whole
the act of making it empty has scarred me
yet for the need to be whole myself
this hole exists
can you tear out your own heart
and heal it on the outside
or is the act of tearing it out really just putting it back?
to be sure
the empty feeling remains
hole or not
it remains
a mirror of the hole
in the whole
