The tears will not fall <br />My screams are silent <br />The mind seeks a solution <br />The heart refuses to answer <br />I still stand tall <br />Holding against the tyrant <br />The mind tells to move on <br />The heart is holding back <br /> <br />The voice lost the words to say <br />My soul has no song to sing <br />The mind writes a better scene <br />The heart glances at the old <br />I take it day by day <br />Listening to what my dreams bring <br />The mind pushes away the images <br />The heart wants to decipher them <br /> <br />The emotions are numb <br />My memory seems to fade <br />The mind tries to understand <br />The heart stays confused <br />I try again to gather the crumbs <br />To erase the pain that stayed <br />The mind glues them together <br />The heart sweeps them away <br /> <br />The pain is still inside <br />My fire has lost it's flame <br />The mind looks at the sun <br />The heart wishes for rain <br />I still try to hide <br />Feelings of regret and shame <br />The mind blocks them out <br />The heart still remembers<br /><br />Katherine Sessor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heart-and-mind-8/
