The Mind Also Weeps

A silhouette on the edge of the mind Finds the abyss from love's hurt and deceit Counting the reasons as if to remind To find the sky where anguish and pain meet This spinning portal on its chosen plane Turns and turns until there is no way out Time infused rushes fill the blood and brain Lost in an illusion, all is in doubt This ache from lost love becomes its own hell To leave a foul smell from love's dung-lit pyre That causes my pangs to bubble and swell As memories from love burn in a fire Their smoke will rise through the mind's dark cosmos Their ash turns cold to evoke my pathos 4/22/21 contest Writing Prompt- Ache sponsor Constance La France
