A Battle Between Mind And Heart Poem by Mr Musa

The days keep rushing by
Like winds that never stop to ask,
"Can I still stand on my feet? "
Every second becomes a narrow space
Where your name continues to dance
In a shadow I never asked for,
Becoming the most vivid hallucination.

I remember,
Not just your smile,
But the sharp wounds left by your words:
"I don't want to be fake."
You compared me to him,
The one you chose for your future,
Not me...
Even though I once built that future with your shadow by my side.

I wanted to save you,
But how can I save someone
Who doesn't want to be saved?
How can I guide the steps
That refuse to be led?

My mornings are filled with prayers to forget,
My nights consumed by longing that quietly tortures.
My mind keeps whispering,
"Let her go, rise again…"
Yet my heart,
Still waits…
Still believes…
That this love is not yet finished.

And I ask myself,
What should I do?
If you don't even care?
Why do I still mourn someone
Who smiles at my destruction?

Maybe…
You were right.
I am a foolish man.
Too foolish to love without limits,
Without conditions,
Without assurance that love would ever return.

But this foolishness,
Is pure sincerity.
Something you'll never be able to measure
With the man you chose today.

If you ever read this,
Please understand,
I'm not asking you to come back.
I just want you to know
That my love never demanded,
But it did fight for you
In the silence you never noticed.

If you're happy now,
Let it be.
If you're hurting,
I hope he heals you
The way I once tried to,
But failed to show.

And I…
Will stay drowning in this battle
Between a mind that wants to be free
And a heart that longs to stay faithful.

Maybe one day,
You'll see me from afar
And say,
"That's the foolish man who once loved me,
And still waited,
Even when I wasn't worth waiting for."

And if that day comes,
I hope life gives me just one chance,
Not to own you again,
But to say,
"I loved you enough
To let you go."
