The Heart Still Believes

You can't turn it off

like a switch.

The heart wants what it wants,

even when it should breathe sometimes.

The mind will heal

in the moments between,

but the heart—

the heart will continue to believe.

And maybe that's not so bad—

to love purely

while the mind still chooses itself,

even just for a little bit.
