Purged

Her love was in flowing in my veins,
Like opium pumping adrenaline.

My heart repulsed her,
Yet my head kept her.

Like a cow in the herd,
She has become bitter herbs
That need to be spewed out
For my normality to return.

I have taken a stand together with my 
 heart.
But the reins of my heart are stronger
  than my blood.
