A Tale of Two Hearts

One heart is forever scarred
The other, oblivious to the pain
One heart feels a terrible loss
The other, no loss or gain

One heart feels hopeless regret
The other, no regret can be found
One heart cries out with blame
The other, not even a sound

One heart keeps looking for fault
The other, no reason or rhyme
One heart hangs on to the past
The other, no concept of time

One heart keeps looking for answers
The other, not wondering why
One heart looks for a chance
The other has said goodbye

Sounds like prime example of incompatability!
