A Heart-Shaped Hole – v3

For each of us there is
a specific, a singular hole,
a heart-shaped hole in our lives
A hole which only God can fill

When we try, we fail
alcohol, drugs, addictions,
desires of the mortal flesh
nothing else, nothing
no matter how hard we try

No, nothing else will do
We need God, only God
to be whole, to fill
the heart-shaped hole within us
