Heart or Mind

Posted bytheatalaPosted inUncategorized 
His eyes, her eyes,
His lips, her lips,
Meet mine, and I die;
Die from the battle,
The battle between my heart and mind,
Of which I can't decide,
Who’s side shall I take?
The pressure to do what is “right”,

I just might-
Let the heart win? No.

Yes.
The heart should win.
The mind is weak,
Easily influenced by the pressure.
The heart chooses between,
His eyes, her eyes,
His lips, her lips,
His.
