There's a Pill for That

[silver]

It has been said the heart wants what the heart wants
However, I've come to wonder if it's not instead-
the mind wants what the mind wants.

The heart is quite logical, happy to hang out
in its fist sized chamber and do its job-
pump in pump out pump in pump out. 

The mind, on the other hand, needs room to roam
beyond the bony confines of the cranium-
it needs to experience all possibility. 

It is the mind that is broken when love is lost. 
The mind that laments and twists itself in thought
for all that never was and never will be. 

The heart isn't unrequited, keeps doing its gig
hanging out happily in its fist sized chamber-
pump in pump out pump in pump out 

I firmly believe I'm on to something here!
Without a doubt romance poets have gotten it wrong!
It is the mind that wants what it wants, we're not heartbroken. 

When the heart breaks it literally stops its logical function.
We're not heartbroken. We're not heart broken. We're alive!
It's all in our heads.  We're not heartbroken. We're just insane! 

Whew! That's fixable. There's a pill for that.

All very true Silver.

Perhaps we should say when love fails we are headbroken... Ummm. Doesn't quite have the same feel, and makes you think we need to go to the emergency room. lol.

I love your humor.

Nicely crafted my friend.

Or, when love fails, we become brain dead?

Or, or, when love fails, we suffer pandemonium in the cranium?

Or, or, or even, when love fails, we become drain bamaged?

I appreciate your appreciation of my offbeat humor, mi compadre.

And thank you kindly, for the nicely crafted comment.
