• Soul

    In my soul there are holes
    That never seem to heal.
    They come from losing loved ones,
    Though til now they never felt so real.

    I wish I could drown my sorrows
    I wish they would just take flight.
    But they never disappear completely
    Though I try as hard as I might.

    My soul is barren and empty
    Because I know I will never find love,
    For I am the one always injured
    When a fight goes from push to shove.

    I am finally learning to open up
    For everyone to see the real me.
    Now it's your turn to open your heart,
    'Cause only then can you truly fly free.
