In Your Mind

He told me " the pain is all in your mind"  
So I hit him in the head and said "it's in yours now too"  

Deep breaths and bitten lips  
as I try to walk away  
one more pill to dull the pain  
how long can suffering stay  
 
opiate receptors relaxed  
there's a soothing in the air  
calm has flanked hostility  
and lies within the fear  
 
barren paths of crisis crossed  
where love has up and gone  
filing out in feeble steps  
no one's won or lost
