A Heart(felt) Conflict.

A fight with my head and heart. Wanting it all and not knowing what's right. Wondering how much you can take.

When a heart is tired from aching, 
And those eyes are blurred from tears, 
Why does one go back to what 
They know shouldn't be near? 
Always thinking, 'there's tomorrow' 
Always hoping things will change 
They wait for new direction 
While acid love burns through their veins 

When one's mind can no longer handle 
All those lingering, stressful thoughts, 
Why does one flare up and fight 
A battle with no need to be fought? 
Always wanting to be happy 
Always wishing on a star 
They close their eyes and try to forget 
The pain and loss of war 

But when a heart breaks into pieces, 
And those eyes grow raw and red, 
What happens when the posts can't hold 
The weight of everything piling up in your head? 
Will you use some candle's wishes? 
Will you keep your hope defined? 
You're pacing thoughts and keeping faith, 
But knowing you can't turn back time. 

When the clocks start to tick slower, 
And your days, you can't set straight 
Will you get what you give, when it's all said and done? 
Will you find all new courage to wait? 
Your heart tells you that it's worth it, 
But your heart has lied before 
Dealing this doubtful game of poker 
Could have you drawing so much more 

As for now, you will wait for the future 
You'll fight back, clench your teeth, and believe 
In the end, always may not always be right, 
No matter what tricks may hide up your sleeve 
No one knows that they'll work out forever, 
You just take time to trust and to try 
A strong love like this, I won't let myself miss, 
And I'll hope that it wont pass me by

I agree with Coyote, sometimes I feel like this and am pleased to know I'm not the only one. My favorite line(s) are, "In the end, always may not always be right, No matter what tricks may hide up your sleeve"
This was a very pleasant read and I don't believe there are any errors. Well done.

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful poem. So many strong statements in your words. I like the line "While acid love burns through their veins." You can wrote a powerful poem. It was a pleasure to read your poem. Thank you.
