HOLE

What will fill the void
change the past
escape the present
where's my time machine

restless nights
groaning stomach
need to press delete

fulfillment
not an option

I thought I had escaped
guess not

it always returns
like the moths
that munch on the covering of my
  favorite chair

the hole in my soul
expands
like the run in my fishnet tights

I crawl into my moth eaten chair
my body closes tight
and I let the sorrow flow
