Our love was doomed right from the start.
Your selfish need, my foolish heart.
It wasn't always this way though.
But it's the way things sometimes go.

My heart and mind are enemies.
Each holding their own memories.
My heart remembers all we shared.
My mind believes you never cared.

A war of words in loves defense.
Angry thoughts become intense.
With sword sharp words this battle fought.
Each testified to what they thought.

My heart said, "fate can't be denied".
"Then Hell's our fate", my mind replied.
He wanted us, my mind agreed.
Just long enough to fill his need.

My mind said, "I understand,
that this is not the love we planned".
"But you must turn your heart to stone,
our destiny's to be alone".

My heart screamed, "THIS CAN NOT BE!"
"I loved him and he loved me."
"Fool! We deserved just what we got!"
Heart whispered "love", mind screamed out "NOT!"

Abuse and lies, heartache and pain!
He has to go, he can't remain!
By evidence the things he'd done.
My heart was broke, my mind had won.

So heartbroken, I turn away.
The choice is made, not much to say.
Though I will love you till I die.
My heart and mind, must say goodbye.

Remember me with a smile on your face, or please don't remember me at all.

Beautifully sad.

Oh so sad, but so often this is so true with both men and women really. Nicely told Lucie.

Love is a house we build within our souls, and give to another person. Even if they choose to leave and dwell somewhere else, the house remains.
