Mind for Consumption

Absent heart, where have you gone?

Why have you forsaken me, oh kindred soul?

Life more abundantly, why have you run?

Joy, love and peace...what have I done?

Every step I take is simply silent,

As if my body is no longer here,

I'm waiting for the taps of my feet to hit the floor,

But this shattered heart can hear...no more

Why hast love forsaken me,

Left me here to rot?

Was it I that abandoned you?

Oh, love, whatever did I do?

Did I turn my back to your call,

Maybe silence your wise words?

Or did you leave arbitrarily,

Oh Love, please remember me.

The pieces are much too small

Scattered and thrown across the world

A shattered heart, I cannot repair.

And a pain in my soul, I no longer wish to bear

Hear me, oh Love, quietest of your kin,

Listen to my weak, patient voice.

Should you wish to return, to see my face,

My heart is now broken, you have not a place

Posted is a sign of vacancy,

Not for of love, you see, but of hate.

Hate needs not a heart for a room,

Only a mind for it to consume
