My Mind and Heart Are At War

MY heart and mind are at war My heart and my mind are at war, Body and soul lost between the hate, Confused and hurt not knowing what for, They pull, twist and fight to escape, The battle of pain sweat and tears, Caught in the midst of heartache, My soul breaks free and leaves behind its fears, The pain is too much for my body to take, I built a wall and smashed it to dust, For another, but for what, I lost my faith and lost her touch, I am soulless standing here stuck, My mind has won this war, My heart damaged and broke, Still not knowing what for, I pray and i still hope, That this war will end, And mind and heart will coincide, Hoping my soul and body will mend, For the rest of me has already died I am done with the pain of passion, And done with the love of pain, All i here is my hearts door's crashing, For this is what makes a man go insane, I felt her love i loved her touch, I kissed her lips and she kissed my heart, Now this feeling, i feel too much, Now it’s time for my mind and heart to part, I will see her eyes in the moon lit sky, Her beauty in a sky of wonder, I will shed one tear and let the pain die, As i lay awake in a world of loveless slumber The illusions of love corrupted my mind, The confusion of passion clouded my eyes, The death of my heart came soon this time, So now i will love in a world of my demise, You can’t feel this pain that i feel, I am done trying and this time i am, When i write i write what’s real, So now can you see why my soul ran? Can you stop and wonder, How i made it so far, with so much pain, Can you here my heart crack with thunder, And can you see i live in a world of rain, I have sought love found it and lost i I am tired of pain. so tired my heart is exhausted i am done now if she comes back then i am here, if not like i said i have shed my one and only tear

Welcome to P/soup-- you have talent so keep posting. This poem is so sad, and yet so honest and from the heart. "I am so tired of pain... my heart is exhausted.."-- that is exactly what real heartache feels like. Thanks for sharing.
