Sonnet To Doubt

Thinking of you my mind crashes,
in a way I can’t understand at all.
My thoughts just become ashes,
before you I stand in my deep fall.

I don’t comprehend what you say,
my ears are deaf to your clear voice.
Or is it you that can’t pronounce,
and what I hear is my only choice.

No matter what I do I pain to death,
reading the explanations I am blind,
and hearing them I shiver till I part.

But God knows I tried till my last breath,
that what I had for you was not in mind,
but deeply inside my poor and lonely heart.
