My mind plays tricks on me
anger turns to fear
resolutions turn to doubts
wisdom to mistakes
my thoughts disorganize
My heart plays tricks on me
I see things differently
jealousy turns to nothing
sadness into wanting
heartache to sorrow
My broken heart mends selfishly
I forgive you
I want you back

We all do this sometimes. An inner battle with the mind and heart is so exhausting. "Trustyour heart with an open mind." is what my Mother used to always say. It works for me. Very well written.
Sincerely,
Regina

So very true, the mind and heart do have a way of tricking us.

I loved this line:

"My broken heart mends selfishly"

I can relate...oh yes, I can.

Love and reason cannot always sit comfortably side by side.  You have captured such a moment very well.
