"I love you"

"I love you"

That's what my heart would say.

 

"I hate him"

"I hate him"

That's what my mind would say.

 

"He loves you"

"He loves you"

Thats's what my heart would say.

 

"He doesn't."

"He doesn't"

That's what my mind would say.

 

"Trust him"
"Trust him"

That's what my heart would say.

 

"Don't trust him"

"Don't trust him"

That's what my mind would say.

 

An inner battle between my heart and my mind. 

Which one should I listen to?

 

"I love you"

"I love you"

That's all he would say.

 

"I won't hurt you"

"I won't hurt you"

That's all he told me.

 

An inner battle between my heart and my mind. 

Which one will win?

 

"I love you"

"I love you"

That's what my heart told me.

Seemingly simple, but so full of emotion. I enjoyed this, it's wonderfully written.

[Phantom Heart]

Oh such a constant battle between the mind and the heart. I always say, "whichever one seems more logical!" Sometimes we take chances and sometimes we don't. It's like the devil and angels on the shoulders! Thanks for sharing.

Great work for taking an important decision of life.

[sounds of shadows]

repetition can be misused, but not in this case. you make a slide show of each statement that builds the story and moves the reader forward.

A lifelong battle that we all fight, a brilliant piece! I love this poem, it is really good, bravo! :D

[Haley Harrigan]

Very good! a word of advice: I know you are struggling between the heart and mind. You must always follow your heart, darling, for it will never lead you astray. But, keep in mind that sometimes your mind will play a trick on you, and pretend that it is the heart instead. That is how mistakes are made.

Very good poem, I like the repetition.

[Patrick O'Neil]

I like the play between the heart and mind,the repetition emphasizes the point. Its a never ending struggle were the heart usually wins. That is well illustrated by the last verse. Great write.
