War in Silence (by Deathwalker)

Sometimes, I get the inspiration to write things like this just from living life, and experiencing it...

War in Silence
There are times,

Where my heart and mind

Go to war.

They squabble on

A battlefield of ambitions,

Fighting over hopeful dreams.

"Now look," my heart tells me,

"Why must you silently wait?

You desire nothing more than her,

Just leave the outcome to fate."

"A foolish idea," my mind responds,

"Backed with empty hopes.

Do you want to be hurt again?"

"A risk worth taking!" says my heart.

"You only need to try.

About her you can't stop thinking,

It's not like you would die."

"Face reality," my mind demands.

"You know that to her, you don't compare.

She would never see you in that way."

"I don't know," I simply say,

Listening to my heart and mind.

"I don't know."

And so my heart slowly breaks,

My mind becomes lost,

My sorrows I mask with feigned joy

While I can only sit in silence,

Surrounded by crushed hopes and broken dreams.

"I don't know," I simply say,

Listening to my heart and mind.

"I don't know."
