Passion Vs. Reason

It’s hard to believe
I created this mess
I started this chaos
By the sound of my chest
He could feel my heart beating
As I looked in his eyes
So beautiful and passionate
I couldn’t see the disguise
That he was wearing
As he swept me off the floor
From the boring and mundane
Right out the open door
I thought that I was leaving
This life that had no love
To be free to fly with ecstasy
As wild as a dove
But I was so mistaken
His love would never last
And soon I was missing
My passionless past
That even at its peak
Could never touch my heart
But feeling safe is so much better
Than feeling torn apart
And as my wings mended
Another came along
This one both safe and beautiful
The tune of a different song
That played so gently
As I began to change my mind
He brought safety and satisfaction
My heart was redefined
I thought it wasn’t possible
What a lucky girl was I
But as quickly as he came
He said, I love you and goodbye
And my heart was truly shattered
What an evil prank to play
On a girl that only loved him
Words could never say
How much I would go back in time
If I knew I could
And change my foolish ways
Be the girl I know I should
Just simple, with all certainty
No love, no broken heart
Because being safe is so much better
Than being torn apart.
