The War Between Wisdom and Want : Relationship Poetry

written by Poet : saltbg4k


wisdom

 

When

will my damned heart listen to my brain?

Intelligence calls the same name.

Stop!

But, my heart keeps rolling through the caution light.

Causing wrecks.

Colliding with all reason.

My affection leaves my head in pain.

Tears swell behind my eyes

refusing to drain.

Pressure builds behind the dam my heart built.

The wall erodes away my pride.

Chipping the crust

to reveal broken insides.

Oh, heart keep your silence.

For you are not true

you promise only lies

in all that you do.

Listen to the honesty common sense gives.

Allow this relationship to die

and we both may live.
