Head vs heart

I find myself in a predicament
One I wish to ignore
My heart would follow you all day
My head says follow no more

Everytime that I see you
My heart says is she the one?
My head says shut up and work
Its not a time for fun

I attend our monthly sales meetings
I seem to glance over a lot
Oh head please tell my stupid heart
Keep looking and your gonna get shot

Head says collegues would have me
Lined up for a firing squad
Heart says take a chance on true love
You can always get another job!

So head and heart what say you!
Can we come to some kind of truce
I really love my job
And my neck doesn't need a noose

At last there is agreement
A peace between waring sides
The sides of my own persona
In sync like the bloody tide

The result of this poem is certain
A person you wish to pursue
You'd better be 100% sure
That person she wants is you!

Well Stuart

An office crush or romance, now that is a question, lol. Wonderful and quirky in its own right. Shame about the consequences of such an affair. Why not ask over a lunchtime coffee, lol. Well done. Love Lyz. XX

Liz just posed the question of the day lol !

Hey Liz, I found someone who i thought was "the one" only to find that she didnt particularly care and enjoyed watching me suffer. And yes i had a blindfold on but the firing squad are still searching for bullets. You cant shoot someone if you dont have ammo lol. Moral of the story - Be careful when liking someone that doesnt have the third eye open. They wont get your drift and they will throw you to the hiyennas. Glad you read it, I like it best regards Stuart
