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
