Overwrought Mind

Where there was pain There is only numbness now You had written pages But there is only blankness now Mind no longer feels the heart's ache Heart no longer seeks the balm Among the stars, the moon is lost The eyes crave its sight no more What was once a delight A sore it is now The clouds cried lavishly But the earth still gasps from thirst That's the world you see Through the imagination overwrought For the vision of the eyes Is but an offshoot of the brain The light cannot touch the pupils When the mind is a dark cell Where moss grows on the walls And fear eats away at the heart.
