My mind and my body
Seem to fight this constant war
My mind says I don’t need him
My body craves him more
My mind knows he’s not good for me
I should turn… and walk away
My body knows how he touches me
And fights for me to stay
My mind says this should be easy
I deserve more than this man can give
My body says his touch is real
And within his heart I live
My mind can’t accept the idea
For some reason; I can’t see the light
My body won’t allow me leave him
Give up this man…without a fight
So I quarrel within myself…
Knowing… there’s no way to win
My mind may harbor the wisdom
But my body exists only for him
