Mouse Brain Briony Carvalho
The words shook her and struck her with fear They were the words that she wanted to hear Hardly believing that now they were real She couldn’t decide how to feel.
She pulled open her brain and peeked inside ‘What am I feeling and thinking she cried?’ A scribbling mouse looked up from his slate ‘Well’, said the mouse ‘it’s nearly too late’:
‘You wanted the words To be spoken to you But the speaker of words Is not right for you
You want to be loved Don’t want to be lonely You want to be wanted Don’t think he’s your only
You want to be you Don’t want to be ‘them’ You want to be wanted By all the good men
You want your lost lover You want your lost friend You don’t want this man On you he depends
His heart it is given over to you Leaving him now may tear it in two!’
She thanked the mouse and thought for a bit The mouse was right, his face didn’t fit She closed her brain again and sat back on her chair She would look in her heart and see what was there
She looked into her heart and saw it frozen quite solid She gave it a poke but it still remained stolid The heat from the fire of his love was no use It had withered and frozen from years of abuse
She looked at him and his expectant eyes She opened her mouth and quite by suprise Her heart dropped a notch and the mouse walked away As she smiled, touched his face and said ‘I love you too…ok?’
