Thoughts // Poison

I just cracked the code.
Do you remember when people said that
When you fall in love,
You must take your brain with you
Because without the presence of mind, you’ll end up
Hurting yourself.

But no.
It’s really not the heart that leaves us broken
It’s our brains, actually
That hurt us.
Have you ever heard yourself say, ” I thought….”
You thought what? That you’re special?

You really think that each glance?
Each smile? Each word?
Means anything?
It’s only you. Who assumes. Who expects,
That there is something in the way you move
that will leave him breathless.

It’s not our hearts that tear us apart
It’s our minds
Who is doltish to think there is a chance
Suspended in sunbeam
Left tangled in the amidst of desperation.

You really think? You really wish?
Our thoughts are not facts.
I just cracked the code.
My brain, your brain
is slowly poisoning
us.
