My Brain and Heart at War
Enough! Enough! I’ve said I’ve had enough!
I am done with this infatuation.
I'm done with lying and having to bluff.
I am done with the wasted affection.
Even though your eyes do brighten my day
with their shining blue color. Your jokes set
a smirk on my face. If you could, please, stay
in my life and mind. Don’t make me forget.
Wait! Mind, no! Forget! Have him leave your mind.
Do you need stress? Do you need the heartbreak?
Leave! Get out! Go! Be taken by the wind
and depart from my heart! Dismiss this ache!
Still, the boundless glee that comes over me
when he speaks my name. I wish it could be.
