Love with a Hole in the Middle



Seeking to find an answer to this riddle
Perhaps together we can discover why
Our love seems to have a hole in the middle
It’s growing bigger and bolder, as days go by

Such a peculiar thing at first, you see
Hard to notice something so small
But it’s been eating all the sweet words you used to say
Because I’ve listened, and don’t seem to hear them at all

That sneaky little hole, trying to steal my lover
It tends to grow behind one’s back, my love
Could have caught it early, if we were facing one another
Could have seen it clearly, if I were looking above

Time can be such a fair-weather friend
Against whom, commitment can struggle or stray
Time sometimes breaks, and it can sometimes mend
But not with a hole in our love, no way

Such treason is the reason, for my tone and my haste
Apologies if I’ve shocked with this matter
But with a hole in the middle, no time to waste
My feelings were left at the bottom, no ladder

Speak swiftly, my love, true words set free
Within you lies the answer to the riddle of why
You put a HOLE in the middle, no “O” and no “V”
But I found an “I”, in between your “L” and your “E”

You can keep it, with your “H” and “O”, but not “ME”
Because I’m “IN” the middle of “MINE”…now who’s clever?
Get the “F” out with your “LIES”, you two belong together
Now I’m gone, get A middle finger forever!
