The Battle Between the Heart and Mind

Battle between the heart an mind By Dakota Cowan My heart lies awake yarning for you Every sleepless night she finds something new To hold onto like glue You linger through my mind as slow as a slug All he has to say is your nothing but a drug I hide my confusion with a slight smug Knowing I'm hiding my tears under the rug This war is going to end with blood With both sides, drowning in the flood My heart rejoices, knowing after the flood- The flowers will again began to bud My mind argues saying there will be nothing but damage So far he has the advantage Because in the end there is no way i can manage I am scared to carry the baggage What the heart doesn't know There is no way to grow When the war is over with just a simple blow Somehow she hold onto the moons soft glow Convincing herself this is nothing but a show My mind fights because of fear With the idea this will all disappear He puts his best men forward ready in gear Without the idea the heart will interfere She fights because she knows what's right She looks at the light With excite She's fighting with all her might
