The heart wants
The heart needs
The brain taunts
Action proceeds
I’m getting nowhere and I am getting there fast
Nothing comes easy and when he does it doesn’t last
It’s an endless cycle. I hardly can cope
Letting go feels like giving up hope
As I struggle with how to keep hope on a respirator
The light in my heart is being supported by a generator
Love wails
Romance sails
Off into the distance
Against the tears of resistance

Nikki, I enjoyed this poem (and I’m not usually a poetry kinda gal! smiles …). I love how you capture the pull and tug effect of the head and heart. It’s a beautifully written reminder that love ain’t for the faint of heart (pun intended). Keep writing! 🙂
Thank you so much! I haven’t written a poem in a while.
