Dig a little deeper
Aim the shovel downwards
Tunnel to my soul
Each word you say
Reaches deeper
And you toss
What is left behind
In a pile of uncaring
Soon I will be hollow
Unable to trust
Unable to believe
Unable to love
And the vastness
You leave in me
Will only remind me
Of your cold empty heart
