c2.  Torn

Torn, amongst the many shards --
Facets of this emotionall feedback
From love lost -- never to be found
Save the rendering asunder of the very ground,
Which may prove unfruitful to logick,
But my misery must pierce this discordant sound.
The prices seem to high.
I'm tired of having to be told a simple little lie
Or two or three or more
Because of this there is no reason left for me
To ever seek to know what all this happened for . . .
Only left that all, even I,
should hasten destiny and sooner die!
