Revelations

Revelations

A Poem by Andrew Gleeson
"

A short poem I wrote a few months ago.

"
A soul
is a hole in your chest,
a void
we fill with what feels best.
I know now
I'm as bad as the rest.
I was lying before,
but now I confess:
blood lost
won't make me a man.
My secrets:
a very dark land.
I'm sorry
for taking your hand;
for breaking your fingers
and stealing the pieces.

I'm not sure I like how this ends.
As always, constructive criticism is appreciated.

you can't ever fill that hole, can you?
in our blind rage and pain we do terrible damage to those who love us

i like the ending quite a lot
