heart rant

We've been through a lot together, my heart and I
Through thick and thin we've toughed it out
my heart guiding me through blizzards
And escorting me down every fork.

Blindly I followed
Filled with the simple logic that my heart knows best.
We share a common fate after all
What's good for it is good for me as well, right?

Well, that's what I thought.
Problem is my heart's a retard.
Born with a defect that no doctor foresaw
my heart doesn't have my best interests in mind.

For twenty four years
I let this appendage advise me
But like Karl Rove
my heart schemed with masochistic intent.

If those years were hours
my heart's got a single day life span.

Into the cage
Six feet underground
Locked in a lead box
With no key to be found
my heart stays.

From this day forth
I no longer follow my deceiving and malicious
heart
As my feet take the reigns
Life seems much simpler.

My feet and I share a common interest
And they've always been so supportive
They're familiar with this earth
And they keep my best interests in mind, right?

You live and you learn.
