Challenge Between Heart And Mind Poem by Nancy Hamann

He whispers words so sweet in my ear, words I want to hear.
Don’t you remember the other guy in December that said he would be here forever?
I do remember but I feel he isn’t the same as the other who came my way. I feel the light in this man’s eyes like the sun in the sky. I feel his kiss so soft and tender and wish it would go on forever. I feel that he means no harm when he holds me in his arms. I feel so free when he is with me. I finally feel no fear when he is here.
I think it is a game that he plays. I think it will only bring you pain. I think you will soon discover - he is no different from the other.
I feel that it is time to try, even though I may cry. I feel that I should let him in and let go of my fears within. I feel I need him here with me to whisper those words so sweet in my ear.
I think you will lose like a fool. Put up your guard and walk away. Don’t let him play. Don’t you remember what happened in December?
I do remember but what should decide my heart or my mind?
