My heart and I

It is not in question anymore, that my heart and I want different things
we work in different ways though we are not different beings
sometimes I want to have some alone time
my heart will not agree, it wants to take part at all times

I don’t like to allow my heart to make decisions
But it does anyway, without my permission
while I am busy figuring out my life and looking for solutions
it has made us both seem delusional

Imagine me, being coerced to feel some emotions
It has been quite long since I felt this emotional
I have been in control of my heart and it’s been frozen like ice
But the tingly feeling in my heart has persisted and its nice

My heart has been defrosted; it’s beginning to feel warm again
I am glad that it is real and not a game
I will follow my heart this time and convince my mind to do the same
There is no point trying to deny what I feel, so I will let the ship sail
