Between the Head and the Heart
In the still of the night
My heart creeps into my mind
And all my feelings to which I am blind
Surface into images as my dreams unwind
Sleeping, burning, beating, sweat
The feelings in my heart start to spread
Consuming my mind until its fed
While I lay here wishing I could go to bed
Bubbling over in my head
Are the emotions you’ve ignite
In the darkness my feelings come to light
Flooding every dream, every thought, and every sight
As the sun begins to rise
The moon and my heart start to set
Sinking back down into my chest
But not for long are the two separate
Throughout the day
My heart beats, but my head finds
And drains the beat till the tempo dies
Filtering my emotions, but not all the lies
And hour after hour
My mind on you goes ticking way
Fabricating logic for why I feel this way
Conversing with you what I want you to say
When the clock strikes noon
For a moment I fell no longer
My heart is null and my head in power
As the voices of the night get louder and louder
Thinking, Singing, falling deep
Into the depths of an alluring tune
My elusive though have succumb to
That familiar song from last night’s moon
Dusk begins just on time
While my head catches onto the beat
The thoughts of my heart start to repeat
Stuck between the head and the heart, I fall asleep
