Head Battles The Heart.

Head Battles the Heart.

 

The head is having another emotional battle with the heart.

The old wise head is naturally defensive from the very start.

The impulsive heart jumps straight in, giving it one more try.

The experienced head is alarmed and wants to know why.

 

The foolish heart believes it is love and not just crazy passion.

Charged in full steam ahead didn’t stop to ask the questions.

The heart is caressed and lured into a false sense of security.

It has convinced the old eyes to see only what it wants to see.

 

The head has seen the heart get burned so many times before.

It tries hard to get the heart to secure and bolt down the doors.

The head can see the heart being carried on an emotional ride.

He knows from before it will not be long before the tears arrive.

 

The heart continues the dance chasing what it believes is love.

The head patiently sits there, carefully looking down from above.

The hearts dreams and grand illusions come to a shuddering end.

The head looks on as the heart is hurt and discarded once again.

 

The heart starts to realise the head had given some good advice.

The head comforted the heart from all the pain and hurt inside.

The heart and head ignored the fake tears in those deceitful eyes.

Then the heart and head stood together and finally said goodbye.
