It Would Be So Much Easier

Why can’t my heart fall in love where it should?
I would choose him not you, yes I honestly would
He’s honest, he’s charming and he says he loves me
Oh why can’t my silly heart with sensible eyes see?
He treats me with respect, and he’s always so true
He doesn’t lie or cheat, he’s not a bit like you
So why can’t I instruct my heart where to rest?
It would be so much easier it would be for the best

Why can’t my heart just pay attention to me?
I would choose him not you yes I would honestly
He’s always where he says he will be, he’s there
Oh why can’t my stupid heart learn where to care?
He says that I’m wonderful and he’s always kind
He doesn’t mess me about, I know what I’ll find
So why can’t I tell my heart to do what it’s told?
It would be so much easier having his heart to hold

Why can’t my heart hear the words I have to say?
I would choose him not you, yes I would any day
He’s trusting, he never questions where I’ve been
Oh why can’t my foolish heart with truth be seen?
He talks to me like I have some sense in my head
He doesn’t dismiss me or make me wish I were dead
So why can’t I speak to my heart in accents clear?
It would be so much easier if I held him not you dear


Why can’t my heart see the sense of falling for him?
I would choose him not you, yes with him I could sin
He’s always kind and he says he really truly loves me
Oh why isn’t my heart start seeing things at all clearly
When he kisses me why don’t I hear bells ring?
He tells me all the time that I make his heart sing
So why can’t I convince my heart you're too bad for me?
It would be so much easier if my heart acted sensibly

The heart, unfortunately, is not connected to logic....

Wonderful writing here....I know what you mean, exactly...

yes, the heart does not connect to logic, this is true......we love by design--fate, if you will!   I enjoyed this very much.

It's so wonderful to read you Marsha ... this was excellent! It's so very, very true ... why do these hearts just not listen to logic, sigh ...

This is such a beautiful and flowing poem, I really enjoyed your sentiments in this Marsha!  

Best wishes,
