The Darkest Hole

The breath I breathe, is cold against my skin,
The teardrops roll onto my cheeks, and fall off my chin.
How long will it last? The pain inside my chest,
How much will it take, even if I try my best?

The hole in my heart, just won't sew up,
I'm afraid if i try, the pain will go up.
I've been fighting these emotions much too long,
And in the end, they turn out to be just too strong.

Love will never find me, and I'll never find it,
I should probably just stop, give up, and quit.
But, still, there I go, not ready to be killed,
And always end up, that hole unfulfilled.
