Body Dying - Mind Suffering

The body suffers a wound
May bruise and bleed
Then it will heal
Leaving a scar on the flesh

The mind suffers trauma
A cause to sob and cry
Then it will heal 
Leaving a memory in the head

The physical body suffers a fatal wound
It may suffer greatly or not at all
And the body will die

The mind suffers the worst possible trauma
It may go crazy for all to see or suffer internally
But the body will not die  

Physical wounds can bring the end
Mental wounds can only bring agony
