Brain and Heart 

Bailey P., Leland Middle School

I fell in love well.

That is what part of me says.

The other says it’s just a normal day.

He is dating a girl that I have known for a while.

 

I felt the tears in my eyes but I won’t let them show.

My brain was right.

There is no love.

It’s just a normal day.

 

I’ll lock my heart up until it is once again safe.

But my heart keeps breaking out of its cage.

Making me think about how he didn’t say a word.

How he ignored me and kept me in the dark.

 

I don’t know what side to choose.

My brain and my heart are having a war and both fell apart.

But my heart has it the worst-broken in two parts.

My brain was right, my heart is now changed, not even allowed to get out.
