Ignorant Heart

If I had it to do all over again,
I'd do the same damn thing
My heart has not yet caught up
With the intelligence of my brain

My Brain is ashamed, 
this fact is immensely true
But with an ignorant heart like mine
Whatever may I do?

I'll buy myself a book or two
On the facts such as love
Bring my heart up to date
On intimacy, sex, intelligence,
Or maybe all of the above

The only "books" on Love is only written based on ones experience. Perhaps, you should write your own chapters that you've already experienced and ask yourself, what have you learned from it all? Once you learn & understand, you will become that much stronger and more intelligent. I'm living proof. :) Nice piece, Sarah.
