The Tell Tale Brain

When I looked up and peeked into my soul
What I saw was a lie
The brain had lied to the heart
Promised it that it loved someone else
The brain had the hearts best interest
Because the brain knew that the heart
Loved someone that didn't love the heart

The brain kept it's secret well
Pushed it down
Kept it locked in a dusty box sat upon the place where remnants
Of the past love were kept

The heart is blind
Much like love
But it isn't stupid
The heart caught up with the brain
The brain told the heart to leave the fake love
The real love was waiting

Real love had a brain that didn't like it's heart
Her brain often tricked her heart
She was often left confused

Now our heart is shattered
And her brain can't comprehend
