It was a war,

Her conscience-the battlefield:

On the right stood her brain,

Ever thoughtful

And on the left was her heart,

Who never failed to be loving.

Then the battle cry sounded

And it was chaos,

Both fought for their victory.

The brain's manipulative minister

Tore the memories of the heart into shreds;

Rationality-the trusted general of the brain

Slit the throat of hope.

The heart became aware

That it stood no chance against the brain

With its paladin fallen.

For it is said that the strongest shall thrive;

In the end, the heart fell to its knees

As the brain used its mightiest armament:

A glance at the reality.

The heart witnessed how it got tricked,

How wrong its beliefs and choices were,

How it got deceived by its dearest ones;

The painful realisation sealed its fate.

The heart had no choice,

But to let the brain win,

As always!
