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
