The hole in my chest

by Hear You Me

Clean and bright,
the sun shines through my
chest, and the gaping hole
you have left there.
the beauty of it,
of you, of my love for you,
it's killing me.

i can try and
hold myself together,
but beams of dusty light
still stream through gaps.
i can't fill myself when you're away.
and soon i swear i will collapse
without your strength close
to hold me together.
