My Heart Kept Saying.

My heart kept saying; "Don't forget him!"
My head said; "He's forgotten you!"
Two conflicts of my human body,
I feel useless, and don't know what to do.

My heart kept saying; "Go get him, sweetheart!
Here's your one chance, don't let go!"
My head said; "Sweetheart, you'll lose your grip again!"
And my heart said; "Sweetheart, never let him go."

But we all make this mistake.

I followed my foolish head.
With those doubtful thoughts in mind.
My heart ached and pulsated with every written memory,
And the gaps in my hands, had no fingers to intertwine.

"Foolish, honey, you're foolish."

My heart kep screaming; "Don't you give up!
Love will never give up on you."
My head is pushing these thoughts away.
"How foolish; so untrue."

My head was screaming; "Girl! Get a grip!"
You'll never get that second chance.
The most you'll ever get," my thoughts said.
"Is only that passing glance."

My heart was screaming, "What matters more?"
What you think...or what you feel?
Honey this is life, and we're living it.
And believe me honey, it's all very real."

My head kept shouting; "Lies. He doesn't want you.
You're not the beauty queen.
You're sidewalk trash and beer and crackers,
And everything in between."

My heart had whispered; "Go on. Stand up once again.
You fail if you never try.
Get up, stand strong, you're living.
Honey, don't let love die."
