Torn Poem by Cecy Avila

And the War Began
Between the Heart and the Mind
Who's going to Win?
Who do I Want to Win?
I will Never Tell

The Heart Never Lies
But the Mind Tells the Truth
Two Strong Forces
Fighting to Rationalize
While Reality Tries to Intervene

If the Heart Only Knew
The Mind is Only Trying
To Protect It
and Keep the Heart From
Breaking into Pieces

If the Mind Only Knew
The Heart is Only Trying
To Be Set Free
and Keep the Mind From
Falling Apart
