Whole Vs Hole

I laced my shoes up
Headed straight for the door 
Coz this is worth fighting for
Getting my head right 
The heart has got to follow 
Whisper a prayer
Like there ain't no tomorrow 
Take a breath and I exhale slow
I wasn't made for this kind of cold 
This ain't a place you want to know 
This ain't a home 
Nah not even close 
You can go ahead and play 
Like you want rock n roll 
Guilt does a job
On everyone's soul
When your head
Is a pillow in the night with a knife on
You can bet your life
It is gonna be a fight y'all
I used to feel whole 
Now just emptiness 
A gaping hole 
However here's poem
For the broken hearted
A silent prayer
For faith departed 
Do you ever get the feeling that 
There's something greater 
Happening here
It's beautiful it's tragic 
It's something more than magic 
The laughter the tears 
It's the road that led us here
The majesty the mystery 
It's a billion heartbeat symphony 
Like a river that leads to the ocean 
One hand sets it all in motion
