The Heart & the Mind -2

“But what if he is the one?
And it’s just not the right time?
What if we just need a little space  
And once we’ve had it, it’ll be fine?”
Hearts naivety caused Brain to roll her eyes:
“Why’s the focus on him?  
Sounds like a classic case of denial.
Heart, sometimes you’re way too fickle.  
Way too fragile!”
 
From Brains words,
Heart became deadly quiet.
So Brain laid in:
“Didn’t you notice how he threw off your rhythm?”
Heart only nodded,
So Brain continued,
“And didn’t you crack a little bit after each time he failed you?
So you’ve gotta ask yourself:
‘What is it about this dude?’
Because again,
I warned you for months…
But you let your emotions rule.”
 
Hearts’ beat started to slow,
And she felt like she was about to break,
So Brain let her know:
“It’s okay if you still ache.
That means you still work
…more than you can say for some people walking this earth,
But you have to remember you’re not alone in this
And you have to leave space for my logic to do it’s work.”
Heart was quiet again,
While she focused on her beat,
She noticed it hadn’t beat so steadily in a while,
Because she’d been plagued with anxiety.  
Then she told Brain,
“It’s hard to admit & hard to believe…
But I have to recognize,
I let love break me.”
 
This statement saddened Brain.
Because she could feel Heart start to close,
So she told her  
“Don’t change your rhythm,
Don’t blame yourself…
When it’s not real love,
This is just how to tends to go.”
