Hole
It's in the dark I see the face.
A face that will never leave.
Fingertip to fingertip.
Slowly falling away at first.
Slipping from a hand that is damp with sweat.
Mouth opening.
In my mind the scream comes.
To closer my eyes is to sharpen my vision.
Keeping them open I still see him.
Arms pinwheeling.
He doesn't blink.
As far as I can see he falls.
Eyes pleading for help.
Useless is the way I feel.
And down he falls.
Over and over.
His mistake is my eternal nightmare.
Forever in my mind.
Forever haunted.
Maybe there is a way out.
The hole stole one soul.
What would one more matter.
I blame the hole.
Boys play.
The hole stole.
Stole a soul.
An innocent.
I could not save the boy.
He is still with me.
I will go to him.
