rogue

thought that I was in control
my mind controlled my heart
now it seems my heart's gone rogue
and struck out on its own

guess it got tired of being held back
being told what it should feel
the fantasies my mind could hide
the dreams I thought concealed

now I'm in a quandary
I don't know which to trust
a mind that constantly rationalizes
or a heart ready to combust
