The Heart And The Brain
The heart.
The heart decides quicker than the brain.
The heart knows what it wants.
The heart doesn’t know it will get hurt
The brain.
The brain takes seconds, days, months, years, to decide.
The brain doesn’t know what it wants.
The brain knows it will get hurt.
The brain and the heart.
The heart keeps the brain functioning.
The brain keeps the heart from breaking.
The brain and the heart are meant to work together but feud often.
My brain knows you aren’t coming back.
My heart hopes you will.
My brain doesn’t want you back.
My heart does.
