I love you
Says my heart
I hate you
Says my mind
My heart begins to flood with a warm joy
A child’s laughter
My mind ruminates on the weight of knowledge
The pain of an epiphany
My heart forgets,
The past pains and sufferings, the future regrets
My mind understands,
The hypocrisy and idiocy
So my heart yearns forevermore,
Running in the flower-filled field of no fences
No clouds
No bedtime
And my mind yells forevermore,
Screaming at itself for knowing better,
For needing to live up to perfection
For giving in to the comfort and warmth
And when it’s gone,
My heart yawns and bundles in the comfort of tomorrow
As it knows, tomorrow will bring the same forgotten joy of today
My mind struggles to stay afloat in an ocean filled with regret and doubt
As it feels another 100 pound weight, it must lift to stay alive
My heart
Says I love you
My Mind
Says I hate you
