There's A Limit
(from Faces of Love)

There's too many holes in the wall
holes where nails used to be
nails that held pictures
pictures
replicas of you

and me

and the way things
used to be

There's a limit
to the holes
a heart
can stand to see

There's a limit
to the empty spaces
a soul
can visit
alone

There's a limit

and mine
has
been
breeched

Nicely said, James. I was thinking my limit has certainly been reached while reading this... but am probably not far away from having that limit "breeched" as well.
