If My Heart Let My Brain Think

Poem by: forgottensoul
My body is lead.
Sinking into my white sheets.
I can’t move, my heart is too heavy.
My brain is cloudy.
My heart is telling my brain not to think.
Letting it sink into nothing.
Thinking of nothing.
Staring at my ceiling.
Because my heart knows
If my brain thinks
It will go back to you.
First it will think of how much I miss you
Then it will think of ways to get you back
It will think of texting you
Calling you
Showing up at your house.
Then my brain will think of your words
I am nothing to you.
It will think of my heart,
My broken unfixable heart.
It will think of the pain you have caused
Of how much you don’t care
That I am dying here
And you are supplying the poison.
My brain will be mad
And sad
And in love
Which I didn’t know was a feeling that could exist all at once
Until you left.
It will wish that you would want to fix this
Want to hold me
Want to save my life.
But then it will remember
That wishing doesn’t get you anywhere
And I am nothing but an inconvinence
I can live a life without you,
But I do not want to.
You would be happier if I just
left.

Lovely poem!
Good poem.
Heart or head? In my experience they BOTH have a tendency to get seriously muddled up. Good poem.
