Love’s lobotomy

A Shakespearean sonnet from an ill heart and mind

By Kenneth cruzPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

Our ecstasy was a lobotomy

Spirit, heart, and brain severed and rewired

A fiend consumed by thoughts of you and me

Pangs of desire for your essence transpired

I swear our spirits intwined every time

Your soft whispers penetrating my soul

Your eyes meeting mine as you arch your spine

I wouldn’t guess love could burn like hot coal

Lost as to why with you I felt at home

How can a love so pure and sure be wrong

I convinced myself our hearts would not roam

And as you waned my agony prolonged

Only now in the end would I refrain

Loves lobotomy wouldn’t leave me sane
