When head and heart collide

only one will walk away.

To happiness filled with gracious wonders

or sadness built to stay

And though reason it still speaks to me

It's voice grows weaker every day.

From the touch of your lips upon me;

to the taste of your skin,

begging me please to stay.

But I ignore this voice and its fateful warnings

and dip my lips back into the warmth.

That takes me home inside myself

And eases the chill I have worn

Though told never fall in love with an inmate,

I know I was doomed to from the start

Yes, when you walked into my life with intense blue eyes

I handed you my heart.
