Loneliness

Carve out my arms and chest The aching loss my forearms face Hands lifted up to a god Who stole the soul of an empty case Shine a flashlight through the gap Or into a hollow statue chest Porcelain delicate echoing sounds Pulled out and up to eternal rest Hear me crying in the night For I have lost my soul Fill my arms and chest again Please, just make me whole
