my heart sees a ray of hope
yet my mind sees only more hurt
my heart trembles to feel love's caress
yet my mind shuts it out

my heart longs for a path of relief
but my mind tries to lock it up
my heart cries out in its pain
and my mind blocks it all

My heart is a barren wasteland
my mind is a sponge, soaking up the rain
my heart used to once be as Babylon's hanging garden
but my mind has of all emotion drained

my heart, my mind
two totally opposing forces
yet, which will win?
