my mind dominated my heart
but I can see that wasn't true
and should have from the start
there's nothing for a future
there's nothing that never was
a realm of intangible aspects
your heart's not capable of
I should have seen the truth there
it was written plain on the wall
a path of misdirection
for a heart that was enthralled
do what's right for you now
and I will do the same
the wounds will heal eventually
I'm quitting this losing game

I love that you threw the emotion out there, immediately. I think this poem has an element of honesty and rich depth-that's actually hard to come by nowadays, without the thought feeling forced. Perfect piece for every reader to relate to in some aspect, as well! Really enjoy this.
i can hear music for this one.... as the bard said "...three chords and the truth"
