Hearts Never Listen

Tug of war, Between hurricanes and tornadoes of raging emotions, To where i belong i know not, To the shadow of sadness, Or a camouflaged version, A generic kind of happiness. Once lost, now a resident in no man's land... Cutting all ties, between the heart and mind, This pain i can bare, But what could ever emerge or stem from deprivation, Depriving the one substantial thing that makes us human; A dictating heart, the given right to blindly lead... You're bad for me and i know, I've been in this boat and it sunk, But i have forgotten how to live life without you, Maybe that is the fear, Oh yes, yes it is... But how do i live and love a stranger, A stranger resembling someone i once knew and loved, Life has become too bewildering for a man like i, I'm inside an eternal maze made up of unfitting puzzles, Define perplexed... Eavesdropping on conversations between the heart and soul, Just to get by, Living on confusion and comforted by far fetched hope, Will anything ever even come close to being the same. Do i still know what it feels like... These things we bring upon ourselves i tell you, Living a life of lies i guess, That's the way it goes nowadays, But how do we deny what our hearts, without reluctance, refuse to reject?
