my hole

my hole

 

my hole

 

my hole so deep so vast

 

hole

my life is this hole
just a piece of flesh
with this empty space
this emptiness

 

this hole

 

so deep
will you ever know
how deep is my hole

 

if i
lie here
would you come into my hole

or fall in if you are to thin

 

or would you make me flat
if there were too much of

you to look at

 

so this is my life
lost in this time

i am now and old
and young and dead
and before
at the same time

 

i am lost in time
lost to eternity

lost to this light

to this infinity

 

could i find

just a piece of peace

for my hole

 

vast

huge enormous gigantic immense cosmic

infinite immeasurable incalculable limitless

waiting for you to fill

waiting

to wait
how long will it be

how much will it take

to fill my hole

how long will i wait

 

how long will the waiting

wear on me

 

 

waiting

waiting

waiting

 

idleness

 

feel you

could you
could you be the sole
to fill my hole
could you be the one
that i wanted to know
for so long

 

the sole
are you the one
to fill my hole
do you have the soul
that i will know

 

my hole so dark so deep
 

viol
a piece
of putrid flesh
my life


this has become my life
this voice in my head
waiting to die

what i want

is there a thing

 

that i want from this life
a piece of flesh
to pass the time
what is this

what is

this life

of mine

but a time to die

if i could
hold you
one more time

 

and finish this thing
and find out
what it means

how dark and  immense
is my hole

will you ever

 

know
