Holes

By Joanna Myers

It’s a beautiful day outside

And life seems to be goin’ great

Now I’m alone, lookin’ out the window

And inevitably my thoughts turn to you

I though that I was past this

But so much was left undone

I was in love with you

But you disregarded it

And left me with only myself

Your presence left a hole in my soul

Your eyes were my looking glass

Down the rabbit hole I went

I followed you in

And from then on there was only you

But I can’t do anything about that now

I contemplate now my days in your wonderland

My heart, once lost, is now reclaimed

Though somewhat less then whole

You were my everything

But now you’re just my scar

I trace the jagged red line down my heart

Where you tore it apart

And killed me there with just a few words

Your presence tore a hole in my heart

And through your eyes I could see

Down the rabbit hole I went

I followed you in

And forever lost a part of me

And I know I can never go back

The rabbit hole has long since gone

Your beauty, your elegance, your grace

Hidden forever inside me

My deepest secret sin

All my life I’d waited for a love

One that would set me free

I though that that was you

But you never knew

That you were my first

You’re my last

My only love

You
