It's a battle of the wills you see
The heart fights for one thing
The mind fights for another
But even at this
With such strength and passion
The battle's not won with which is more logical
Nor with which is more caring
This battle of the wills will be won
By which is more necessary for survival
The teams have been chosen
The battle will begin
The swords have been drawn
Champions prepare for a brawl
For love or for self?
The outcome is unsure
For this battle of the wills
Is becoming quite unclear
The first sword stroke has been made
But in surprise, Logic never raised its blade
Heart deals a harsh blow
If love is not here,
Then why do I miss him so?
Logic parries a blow with excuses for all
Blade swift and sure as it makes its own sword take flight
Heart blocks well though now, not taking the fall
Soon to become a stalemate, this fight
What does it take;
For a dormant heart to wake?
Not a wish in the world
Not a touch, not a kiss
It's felt from within
Subtle, yet hard to miss
Has Heart won this deathly battle;
Or is this just a break from war?
Will Logic return with a vengeance;
And try to resurrect such bloody horror?
A little voice inside of me
It's silence now just frightens me
He's out of sight
Not out of mind
And the darkness of the night
Creeps up on me from behind
Pushing out all sanity
As it flees mercilessly
To see is not to believe
To believe is to see
When you open your heart to believe,
The unseen will become seen for you
And you alone
Everyone wants a bad boy
One that only they can tame
Everyone wants that play-toy
One that'll take the blame
Nobody wants the hurt boy
The one broken with his shame
Nobody wants a true hard soul
As beautiful as he is
Nobody wants that broken heart
Nobody, but me..
What happens when;
Fears are confirmed?
Presence of sin;
Lack of concern.
When happy dreams;
All wash away.
The tears they stream;
So free this day.
A good thing wasted;
A good thing gone.
This love I tasted;
Is not the one..
How do I feel;
Now that he is gone?
My life awaits;
But I can't move on.
I needed him here;
To shelter me.
Without his love;
Life feels so empty.

Uhm. Yeah. So, this one is actually a series of little things I wrote during a relationship in my life. I know.. It's probably confusing to you from just reading it, but I'm not going to explain it all, so.. Basically, from the start, I was afraid the man I was dating would leave. Of course, he did by the end after a series of crazy events that made me feel extremely bipolar.. But that was my own fault. I brought my fears to life. For any of you reading this pathetic comment right now, remember this.. Danger may be real. It's always going to be there. And it's okay to recognize that. But don't let it consume you. Don't obsess over anything in fear. For fear is a matter of the mind. You created it and therefore, you can overcome it.
Don't end up bringing that fear to life and losing the good things you have. Dwell in the moment. Live for the now. And don't let your fears overcome you..

We Live, We Love, We Lose
PoetryA compilation of poems I've been writing since I was about 9 or 10. Both of mourning and of pleasure. Of love and of loss. Some are unnamed, but I think those can be the best kind. I accept and even encourage constructive criticism, but I will not t...
