Do not think, because I said I loved you <br />All those times throughout the loving years, <br />That all the love I spoke to you was true, <br />Or that my love spoke all its heartfelt fears. <br />And do no think I didn’t give a damn, <br />All those times throughout the hateful days, <br />When I watched you play the sacrificial lamb <br />And turned my back upon your tearful ways. <br />For there are times when heart and thought conflict, <br />And, though the eye is dry, the innards run, <br />And there are times when lovers contradict; <br />They lend an arm to shade a kindly sun. <br />Don’t think these things, my often fickle friend, <br />But know we’re thick and thin until the end.<br /><br />Sean Godley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heart-and-thought-conflict/
