P | A hole in my heart

There is a

hole in my

heart that

keeps on

growing and

expanding

as time goes

on.

There is a

hole in my

heart that

you keep on

darkening

with your black

food colouring

and that I don't

understand

how to care for.

My heart

beats fast due

to the promises

that are constantly

being made but

that are always

forgotten by you

but not me.

I remember

the words

that you've told

me and that

I can repeat

without mistake

with every breath

I take.

There is a

hole in my

heart that

keeps on

growing and

expanding

as time goes

on.

It's not just

you who's

the cause to

this illness,

it's not just

you who's

abandoning

me time and

time again.

It's so many

people who

don't even

know they're

doing this to

me.

My heart

beats fast,

not because

I'm afraid

since I can

already see

the future end,

but because

I am still hoping

that everything

can change.
