A man, by his heart, divided

When it seemed like I had my heart back and under control
You take it once more leaving me scattered and un-whole

And I welcome it with abhorrent alarm
Fool once more to your ceaseless charm

Am I so willing to give my heart, soul, and mind?
Seemingly so, at the mere drop of a dime

You have a power over me that I cannot deny
A foolish creature I am to question why

Do I expect such an easy answer?
To this that has only metastasized such as a cancer

From seed to tree, your roots run deep in my soil
Greed or need, how you plague my mind and make my heart boil

Are you the evil root?
And am I Eve to pick the fruit?

We’ve always been friends, but can we be merely that?
Or will I succumb to my desire and totally crack?

It’s happened before
And now I fear it once more

But do I really mean fear
Or is that just how it appears?

We see only what we allow ourselves to
Thus I am left to my own devices wondering what to do

Is there happiness or just pure vain
I’m crazy, but this is driving me insane

I know they say if it’s meant to be…
But can I stand the torture to wait around and see?

Author notes

There is only one person in my life that makes me question myself and my life like this. And this is dedicated to them...they know who they are.

    I hate that feeling that people like that give you. They say or do things that always get to you in some way and make you stop and think if there's something wrong with you. I knew someone like that, and I can sort of understand what's being said. A hard thing to explained put into fine words. Great job, keep up the good work!
