Rivalry of Heart and Mind

Foolhardily romantic
Prone to vagaries of the heart
She wages a constant battle of antitheses
A rivalry of heart and mind
Seldom, her intellect’s won
Til sorrowly inflicted by lies and betrayal
Her mind and heart hardened symmetrically
Fool-hearted no longer
She tenders affections wisely
