Amygdala

He says
the secret is the almond
in your brain
you should listen when it screams
to run away

            
            there is nothing
            in your ribcage
            but
            one half of a clichè.

So
if I'm made
of bones and chemicals,
cold calculus, or
simple rationality

             
             man of science
             tell me why
             I cannot 
             think away the pain.

Do not be ridiculous,
love was just dark chocolate,
your pain
another cup
of rancid coffee.
