the war between heart and mind

and so rages on this eternal war
the likes the world hasn't see before
those constant battles unlike any other kind
this internal war, between heart and mind

heart struck first, with blunt emotional force
and attempted to knock mind off it's course
but mind  held true with it's precise logical equations
showing foresight, intelligence, and the utmost patience

heart tried again with unending will
but mind held to it's counter strike still
mind struck second, attempting to confuse the heart
but heart was strong, and would not easily be torn apart

heart became desperate and tried to seduce it's foe
mind  your missing out! there's so much good you don't know!
mind, reviewing it's strategy, brought forth what weapons it required
but the weapons  proved useless, without the heart's desire

and so both continued to war, waiting for the day
when those struggles and those conflicts would all pass away
only proving the ever apparent conclusion, be it bitter and or true
that no war or battle can be won, without the unity of the two.

 

I wrote this last year sometime. I was trying to explain how your mind says one thing and your heart says another. So not only do you have to deal with the external war of everyday life, you have to deal with the internal warfare of yourself. I hope I conveyed what i was trying to. Hope all is well.
