Tunneler

I’ve been digging holes since you’ve been gone. 
If I had your hands to hold, would I drop the shovel? 
Or would I keep digging, making the distance between us 
that much larger? 

I’m willing to cut my legs off at the knees 
to be deeper in this whole where I tell myself I find happiness. 
About the only thing I can say for myself 
is that I’m sober.

Intense stuff man. Cutting the legs off at the knees makes me wince everytime I read it. Ouch.

Only discrepency is the last two lines, only because I had to reread it initially to seperate them from the preceding lines.

Other than that, it hits the mark.
