Mind Vs. Heart
For a little while there,
My emotions were all messed up.
But now I've found some closure,
And my mind and heart made up.
My mind knew the whole while,
That nothing would come to be.
It knew it was a spurt of time,
Before you would be a memory.
My heart on the other hand,
Never cared about the facts.
It knew you that would leave,
But was still waiting for you to come back.
My heart would not take the hint,
Though my mind was telling the truth.
My heart had decided,
It was going to wait for you.
It took a lot of convincing,
On my minds behalf.
To make my heart realize,
That you were not coming back.
My heart started to accept it,
But then you popped back in my life.
My mind versus my heart,
The battle starts again in strife.
So the war between the two,
Went on for a little while.
My physical being paid for it,
I never used to smile.
I'm not sure how it happened,
But now everything is alright.
My mind and heart came to terms,
Trust me, it was a fight.
My heart has finally realized,
To put it's feelings to an end.
My heart now has the power,
To now think of you as friend
My mind had to make a sacrifice,
To help my heart along it's way.
My mind had to agree,
That one day things may change.
As hard as my heart is fighting,
My mind won't let it love,
My inner turmoil is over,
My heart is now locked in a steel glove.
