A War

This poem is about a breakup. between a man who is anxiously attached being broken up by a girl who has an avoidant attachment. it is about the war between the brain and the heart.

I feel

I hurt

I love

I lost

My heart wants to cry

My brain is trying to keep me sane

My heart is holding the pieces not wanting to let go

My brain is trying to pick up the pieces

The memories

The arguments

The love shared

The pain caused

I can’t let go

I have to let go

How can I do this 

With time and patience

I want to call

Don’t call

I want to text

Don’t text

It hurts

I know it does

Chase her 

We both know we can’t

I want to fix things

I know

Why can’t I fix this

Because she needs space

How much space

I don’t know…

How Much Space

As much as she needs…

What if she chooses someone else

Then it is good for her

What if she moves on faster than us

Then it is good for her

I want things to be good

We need to work on us first

I can’t it hurts so much

I know but we can’t heal unless we 

Let go?

Yes..

I can’t 

We need to…

Author's Note

I know this poem is long and kind of just runs on. I am not good at making it flow the right way but I like the feel I have of a discussion between the heart and the brain
