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
