Hole

Deepest comfort, warmth permeates,

Hearts bared out loud, shame exstingished,

Insecurities fade, fast as a tan,

Stroking my pale arm, constellating freckles,

I tossle his hair just to peek at the silver patch,

The one he used to hate, to pluck and oppose,

Kiss his smile, makes me smile,

But more than touch, a true ,

No coincidence was uncoincidental,

Eyes need not shift in his direction,

Sensing his very thoughts,

Words spoken in a silent tongue,

Next moment is cold, unforgiving,

My heart didn't break, my very soul relinquished,

For this hole punched out, allows only one key,

That key changed its form,

By the cheapest locksmith,

Dirty trick old friend, or whatever you became,

People pass by my vision,

Emptiness passes my mind,

This handshake feels,

Though garners null emotion,

Nobody to give thought of but myself,

Is a miserable existence, is isolation.
