Laura Breidenthal Poet Rhyme

I Do Not Understand Your Mind

I do not understand your mind
But I have one too
Maybe someday you will find
What it’s like living with you

I cannot read your thoughts and fears
But heck, I’ve got em’ too
Maybe someday you’ll see the tears
That have only been shed for you

I have no desire to know your heart
Until you see me too
And when you see the rolling death cart
You’ll find the dead body’s you

I will not understand your death
Because I’m dying too
Maybe someday in another life
We’ll all go looking for you

Push the cart away, my friend
And see me eye to eye
And there you’ll find a needle to mend
The tears when I die

Jocelyn Dunbar June 8, 2017 at 1:39 AM I felt the sadness of soul. I hope you find yourself revolving and mending your brokenness.

Jake Ponce May 8, 2014 at 2:01 AM Laura, this is very sad. I, however, also adore its composition. It's like a defiant stance you take against somebody making you feel unimportant.
