Two halves of me are warring.
One with logic and good intent.
The other with feeling and a heart.
One bends all reality
in an attempt to prevent
heartache and hurt.
The other speaks from
the tip of the tongue
nothing censured
and without care for possible pain.
One wages battle
against all that I know of you.
The other will never give up
or back down
or cease to care
for you.
One waves a bloody banner
claiming death unto the enemy.
"Kill thine own heart"
They shout.
The other waves a banner of peace
Doves upon a white sheet.
"Love thyself and he"
They call out.
The bloody battle rages on
Each side claiming to be right.
Slowly one half begins to wane.
Its prowess cannot match
The other's beating heart.
One strikes the fatal blow
One side dies a mangled mess.
If the heart beats the logic,
logic might be spared.
But if logic doth prevail,
the heart shall be no more.
