In The Woes Of The Heart And Head Poem by Marlena Rose

In the woes of the
heart and the head,
The mind is not seeing
That the heart is dead.

Worn on the sleeve
To be smeared and bruised,
The heart stops bleeding
To cease being used.

Torn into pieces
And stomped under feet,
The heart now
Refuses to beat.

The head doesn't notice
Until it's too late
To realize the heart's
Change of pace.

To realize the heart
Has gone hard as steel,
Because it refuses to hurt!
It refuses to feel!

The mind tries to heal
The damage to the heart,
But the heart wants
To be left alone in the dark!

No more sorrow!
No more pain!
It wouldn't believe in love,
Even if it came!

Two parts separate
Until the end,
When the heart gives out
And the mind no longer mends

The wounds that the
Heart chose to ignore.
The body ceases to move;
It's dead on the floor.
