I Hate To Love You

Mind:
    Every time you walk in the room
    I fall for you once again
    I can't believe what you do to me
    All I can think about is
    How I want to hold you again
    And taste your lips against mine
   
Heart:
    I can't do this
    I hate you for what you did
    But I love you all the same
    The things you say
    But the things you do
    Oh how I want to love you

Mind:
    Here I am with your arms around me
    My heart is beating faster
    My lips are against yours

Heart:
    STOP! Don't do this
    You don't need him
    You don't love him
    You hate him

Mind:
    Oh, but I do need this
    It is so good
    My insides are burning with desire
    How can I not?

Heart:
    STOP! And take a deep breath
    Forget what he does to you
    When he is there
    Please remember
    What he does when he isn't there
    You don't love him
    You never did

Mind:
    I love him
    I can't help it
    The way he makes me feel
    It is completely out of my control
    I don't hate him, I swear I don't

Heart:
    STOP!!

Mind:
    I can't

Heart:
    Please, you don't love him
    It is all in your head
    Stop and listen to me

Mind:
    I love to hate him

Heart: 
    No, you hate to love him

I can't believe this fight
What do I do
Do I love
Or do I hate
Are they really all that different
Do I love
Or do I hate

Mind:
    LOVE HIM!

Heart:
    HATE HIM!

I can't decide if I need more
Or if I need to let it be
I want to feel the love
But not the pain that follows
I can't believe that this is happening
Will I ever know without this war
But is there ever not a war with love?
Or do we all go through this war
Between our thoughts and feelings?

    a very interesting portrayal of the battle between mind and heart. I liked it all up until the last stanza...i think because the thoughts in it sounded a little cliche. I don't think this is what I'm looking for in my contest, but I wanted you to know how original and good I thought it to be.

    I love the idea that the stanza's are broken up with "Mind and Heart" but I felt like the poem fell a little flat, I think that the premise and idea you have is great and with some fine tuning and editing the poem can be just as great, thanks for entering!
