I attempted to rationalize it
In vain
And so I wrote a poem
To let my heart explain
What my mind couldn’t fathom.
Yet with this new approach
I noticed that as I neared the end

Wow! This is amazing! I do question what happened with the author of the poem. Did something happen? Did an accident occur? Or was the author so frustrated they gave up?
