Pages turn, chapters end, books are finished. With resolution, and head held high, I'll fly away to somewhere safer, where there's less pain. I try to love you, but you just push me away. The heart is a silly dreamer. It sees life as it should be...could be, and not as it really is. The head sees what the heart doesn't. Emotions can be as treacherous as a rabid dog or a razor blade. I wish I were a redwood or a rosebush, or even a dandelion just swaying in the breeze.

Cor Meum,Caput Meum (My Heart, My Head)
Pages turn, chapters end, books are finished. With resolution, and head held high, I'll fly away to somewhere safer, where there's less pain. I try to love you, but you just push me away. The heart is a silly dreamer. It sees life as it should be...could be, and not as it really is. The head sees what the heart doesn't. Emotions can be as treacherous as a rabid dog or a razor blade. I wish I were a redwood or a rosebush, or even a dandelion just swaying in the breeze.
