Love and War

Lately, I don't know what's gotten a hold of me. My mind says one thing, and my heart says another. Is it possible for me to be able to please both my heart and my mind?

Or must I settle for one or the other? People say to follow my heart, but the heart can lead me astray. Reason and logic have their place -- but not in this war.

Victory of one over the other means a bittersweet loss for one. Why can't my mind and my heart agree on one thing? Why must I pick one or the other when what I want isn't necessarily supported?

Exultation of my mind leaves a broken heart. Likewise, lifting up my heart equates a doubting mind. And to tell you the truth, I've never fully understood the statement "all's fair in LOVE and war"...
