~~~~The Heart and I ~~~~~

I didn’t want to fall,
but the heart did just that.
I wished to be a friend,
but this heart needed more.
I can control the whole of me,
except the heart in me.

I wish not for these feelings,
but this heart yearns for it.
I feel more than I should,
and battling with the pink flesh,
is one fight I am loosing.
I’m so into you,
whether I want it or not.

If I were only me,
we could have a chance.
But this heart is hurting,
and can’t take it anymore.
The end of us had to come,
for I listened to me,
daunting to gamble with the heart.
The winner being me,
with a ticking denied heart.

"To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose the next best."
--William M. Thackeray
