Heart and brain Dec. 10, 2012

  

How do I tell my heart to forget her, something my brain can’t even do, unforgiven, unmasked, left without her at last?

How do I forget what I thought she might possess, the warmth in the chill of night?

How do forget her light, alas at last she is rid of me?

How much darker the night becomes without her light?

How do I keep on when all is done, she is gone, when she is shed of me already?

How do I convince my hear all is over, when my brain tells me it is not so, when it is clear she must go, has gone, won’t return, my heart still beating too many beats at the thought of her, my eyes still see her place where she sat, my brain convinced she is no longe there, but my heart does not buy it, defies it, beats madly as if she still is?

How do I convince this miscreant heart to accept it, to forget it, even when my brain already has, brain telling heart to get over it, when my heart sees what it wishes to see and always will.
