Heart and Soul

It took me long enough,
to see that I am hurt.
To see that life is tough,
it treats you just like dirt.

Never again shall I feel love,
Never to be one.
Never to fly the dove,
Life's shot me like a gun.

I've been pawned,
I've played.
I look up to the dawn,
and curse another day.

For the greater good,
oh, my mind can play a game,
my feet planted 'where they should'
now my heart feels untamed.

How could I have been so blind,
When told the way to go.
Heart or Mind,
Body or Soul.

My heart yearns for what is lost,
for what could have been mine,
But fate feels it is the boss,
since the start of time.

So now I sit and cry my woes,
to pen and paper,
heros to foes,
I sit and write my sorry caper.

Only to warn you, dear reader,
if you are to choose between heart and mind,
do not let it be the leader,
and taunt your daily grinds.

Your heart knows best,
it works for you,
your mind is less,
then 2x2.

I now must part,
but listen now.
I betrayed my heart,
but to not you must vow.
