Hole In My Heart

Even though you didn’t intend it,
Your words were bullets,
That tore right through me,
Putting holes in my heart.
You’ll be 49 miles deep into Georgia,
But still light years away from me,
I’m back to being alone,
But I don’t want to be.
I thought I finally had you,
But now I watch you leave,
Nothing but a pair of tire tracks,
And fading taillights.
As you dropped the ball,
Blood starts to flow,
You still hold the smoking gun,
That blew a hole in my heart.
