Betrayal of the Heart

by Megan Olney   Jan 3, 2011


O Heart why must you do this
put this doubt into my mind
for if I follow this path you lay
whos to tell what I might find

Im scared of what Im thinking
Im scared of what Ill do
if I follow this yearning
that my mind thinks of too.

My mind tries to remind me
Of what I have to lose
while you remind me of my gain
if its your path I chose.

Do I stay where I am?
What tempts me to go?
Do I risk all that I have
for a fate I do not know?

    Great process of an emotion that's really hard to explain! Nice work!
    This stanza's rhythm was a little off
    "Im scared of what Im thinking
    Im scared of what Ill do
    if I follow this yearning
    that my mind thinks of too."
    Maybe you could go about it like this: "If I follow this lustful yearning, That my mind considers too." It would add flow. Also you might want to add punctuation and capitalize the beginning of each line to clean it up. Otherwise I love it!

    My favorite part was this one:
    "My mind tries to remind me
    Of what I have to lose
    while you remind me of my gain
    if its your path I chose."
    Overall nicely done!
