His mind was a factory A bustling grey and charcoal factory With machines to create thoughts But all so systematically All so perfect precise concise Not a mistake not a slip was made The sounds of smooth clicks And echoes under foot vibrations All was smooth All was purposeful Until she asked for a tour She asked with innocence and naivety And he let her in tentatively She marveled at his systemic mind And questioned and awed. But no one had ever Entered his mind like this before And she distracted him They heard a crash as a machine malfunctioned And a thought toppled and shattered The pieces exploding like a firecracker Against the grey charcoal floor He panicked and tried to pick up the pieces But echoes of a breaking mind tore at his ears As more thoughts shattered. He was loosing control And all because of her This girl was making him lose his mind He went to a corner and tried to regain himself Closed eyes and shaking heart He sat and stayed, Oblivious Emerging he stared Stared at the prices of his shattered mind That she arranged Into an intricate mosaic And somehow in that moment He saw a beauty in the brokenness Something he had never seen before
