Duty Of Desire Poem by Brian Hinckley

Caught between desire and duty,
the right choice becomes blurred.
Do I give in to heart or head
when you smile at me?

The right choice is the hardest,
tearing me in two.
Do I give you my heart or my mind
or do I give you both?

Lost and confused,
I search vainly for help.
Do I feel relief or pain
when your smile is not for me?

Heart, soul, body, and mind,
all point to you.
Do I tell you how I feel
when I know we have no chance?
