FONDER?

There's a hole in my chest

where I used to hold air

where I used to keep you.

But now

I'm sort of breath

and lacking soul

or the will to go on.

I keep wondering what happened

imagining scenarios to explain your absence.

I keep hoping you've been fired

or raped and killed

or your dad's got cancer.

Anything to justify why you've left

so quickly

without a trace

leaving me alone

without a heart.
