Holes

Sometimes, I think that you did not know me at all.
You certainly do not know me now.

Now I know that I am someone you have not ever touched,
And that knowledge gives me strength.

I am permanently changed.
It is symbolic, and it is literal.

I pierced my body when I left.
My soul healed with my wound.
