I
wasn’t searching
Or
listening to my sleeping heart
But
sometimes it surprises you
And
awakens with a start
Now
I lie awake in turmoil
Night
after sleepless night
Thinking
of everything
God,
it’s an endless plight
My
heart and my mind
Can
never seem to agree
Should
I listen to my heart?
Better
to listen, logically
My
mind has the logic
To
help me understand
I
don’t need the pain of the heart
When
playing a game of chance
My
heart wants to be free
But
the pain is something to dread
So
I guard it selfishly
Leaving
so much unsaid
Silence
is supposed to be golden
But
it’s deafening to hear
When
you keep your heart silent
Not
letting anyone too near
It
would be so easy
To
let my heart take a fall
Into
a sea of emotions
Where
logic I can not call
So,
I’ll keep my heart locked away
Never
saying what it truly feels
Hiding
behind the logic of my mind
Forever
eternally
