    The Empty One Stands Willing

    They say a mind is a terrible thing to waste
    But the girl seemed sweet, bitter to taste
    Reliving memories, there is no escape
    While she searches for another mans' mind to rape
    Clinging to another girl, I really don't care
    Using and abusing, like an old shirt I wear
    I see the one who fueled my desire
    A single look puts a log on the fire
    I turn away, but my eyes still see
    When she's around there's nothing left of me
    Heading for the door I make the mistake
    That one look was too much to take
    Dreading the consequences I stagger to her
    I have my reasons, can't remember what they were
    Looking into her eyes triggers the spell
    My heart has been taken and now rests in Hell
    Love for a devious one has destroyed my soul
    In my old shirt there's a gaping hole

    Ouch, sounds like an struggle to regain self or re-lose self within another. You put the struggle nicely out where you can work with it and thats is part of regaining the shadow self.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
