Hole Reinforcer

Through empty eyes that stare
At me through broken tear
Hole torn and into space it weeps
No more absense complete
Trying to stay put but no hold
Falling to the floor so cold
Once ripped never mended
Tape makes worse to the obsessed
with uneven sticky mess
To be thrown away but wait
Doughnut shaped sticker?
I hesitate.
Divider so precious, will it be lost?
With only one hole shaming the others
Saving at what cost?
Can it be patched for a while
Can loss be detained?
Sticking both sides evenly matched
To see the effect, if it works
My constant divider, I've become attached
But soon another will let go
Now or next Monday
I'll never know, but not yet
Hanging on determinedly
I'll wait for the next hole doomed
Then let it go free
