The Numbing Dream

The shape of this hole
In the roof over my head
Reminds me of what
I let fly away.

A little sunlight and
A lot of downpour
came seeping through it,
Shedding some light on
the emptiness in my sight,
And waking me up
in the middle of the night.

Desperate to keep this
Numbing dream on,
I tried to fill this hole
with everything I have.

Most could fill some of it,
Some could fill most of it, but,
Nothing could fill all of it.
