Holes

There's a hole inside of me

The shape of you

It's so deep inside me

That nobody can see it

When I try to fill it

With other people

None of them will fit

But I will try to keep trying

Maybe I think this one

This one can touch like you touch

Or laugh like you laugh

Kiss like you kiss

Smile like you smile

But no one smiles like you smile

No, nobody smiles like you

It's not just inside me the hole the shape of you

Everywhere I look now

Is somewhere that you are not

Holes are always hungry

And they eat the things we want to keep

Eat your life so slowly

Eat profane and holy

Eat it till you're wholly hole

Maybe I think this one

This one can touch like you touch

Or laugh like you laugh

Kiss like you kiss

Smile like you smile

But no one smiles like you smile

No, nobody smiles like you

I should learn my lesson

Holes are the illusion

Presence and absence and

Emptiness and nothing

When I am gone my darling dig me a hole

Let flowers grow above me

And wild berries

Then laugh and forget me

And before I'm cold

Let someone who loves you fill your

Hole
