Patch the Hole

Your heart is like a boat with a hole

Waiting for someone to come and patch it

You want to pretend it's all okay

Yet, inside you know you won't ever forget.



Your looks can be deceiving

All the lies can be ignored

I know your heart is lost

From a love that's gone before.



You want to give up

You want to give in

You can't let the fear take over

Can't let your voyage end.



You have to let someone in your heart

Maybe someone can patch the hole

You can't wait forever in this place

Got to get out and find your goal.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this because a guy and I were talking... and he used the saying "We're in the same boat" and he said his boat had a hole.  Then I just got the idea for the poem. Kind of a hit and run... I didn't know where I'd end up with this one.  Not my feelings, so it might not be that good.
