Between Heart and Mind

Tears burn my eyes, staying unshed.
My hearts pounds faster in your presence.
But beats only to live while you are away.
Because it has to.

My mind and heart fights a battle.
Both wanting me to follow them.
My heart goes to you with all my love.
While my mind argues you have enslaved my heart

Heart and mind tears me apart.
My heart holding the advantage.
For my soul I have surrendered to you.
To do as you please.

For once, my mind does not lead my thoughts.
Common sense doesn’t lighten my way.
Only the light of your love does.
I fear I may be in darkness.

I have only one wish.
That you cease this war within myself.
Kiss my fears away,
and warm me in your embrace.
