In the end
Even he couldnt give me enough love
Couldn't ever fill the hole carved into my heart by my own hands
The hole I filled with sex and old songs and late nights convincing myself id be dead eventually anyway and it was okay to feel like this because in all honesty I just needed some sleep
Tricking myself, disillusioning myself that life wasn't all that bad
And if it were I could stop whenever I wanted
In the end I still clung to him
The same way the shore continues to call to the ocean
Even though it knows the waves do nothing but corrode away its surface
That was once so strong and
Leaving cavities, depressions to fix
Left with nothing but sand to fill its crevices
The ocean pulls bits of the gravel into itself
To create something of a base
So that the ocean itself doesn’t feel so endless
Even then it never really acquires a strong foothold
It slips so easily into itself
Knowing this, the beach still selflessly pours itself into the ocean
And it can’t stop because it cant
Because I cant

- I don't think they'd think differently of you. I think we all have those dark parts of us or that feeling of not being whole.
