Hole In The Earth

Hole In The Earth

by Khari D. Hawke

I wore a jacket with your name on it, 
The ring that shined on my finger was from you too, 
Watching you dribble up and down the court I smiled, 
I cursed when someone fouled you . 
Cheered when you made a shot. 
You were a star.. even though you lost that night you held my hand 
As We walked through the beach with stars and the sand, 
You confessed to me 
With tears in your eyes you said it feels good to know youre mine. 
I smiled because it felt good to belong 

I wore a jacket with your name on it 
To our very end 
There was a hole in the earth that stood before us but even then I felt safe 
It felt good to know you were mine too. 
Though I could never tell you 
I could never let you have me emotionally. 

The hole grew bigger when you asked if I loved you 
I cried for the words couldnt leave my lips 
couldnt you see my love pour out my eyes 
I was never the one wore my heart on my sleeve 
Your back was towards the hole when you asked again 
People tried to pull me away saying I could get hurt 
But what about you? 
I told you to come back to me 
You shook your head no 
You cried it’s no me to come back to. 
You stepped back further… rocks tore your flesh 
You said it feels good to know your mine 
As you fell back into the earth 
I wore a jacket with your name on it 
And even though you were no longer there 
Your scent lingers only to remind me of what I missed out on 
It no longer felt good to belong 
People pulled me back saying I could get hurt 
Too late
