how can we comprehend
the human brain
it is not simple
not weak
but designed with complexity
and the greatest gift
yet the worst curse
is love
love
how shallow and weak
yet deep and powerful
many a sailor
fallen to the enchantment
of the sirens song
it pulls you in
only to spit you out
wiser and broken
i pity the heartbroken
yet envy the lovebird
the mind so complex
contradicts each text
should we love
or drown without feeling
