By Milena Marques-Zachariah My mind says goMy heart pleads no My mind says erase the past, my heart wants it to last and last my mind tells me promises were broken My heart tells me emotions were woken My mind questions the many lies My heart says don’t question the whys My mind shouts he puts you to the test My heart argues he loves you, not the rest My mind persuades I should take a break My heart responds for whose sake? My mind hates the petty fights My heart says that’s alright My mind cringes at the break of trust My heart says leave that in the dust My mind says my feelings will dissipate My heart cries out let’s celebrate My mind says love has gone rife My heart laughs it off as this is life My mind says he humiliates, what gall My heart shoots back, he loves you above all My mind says it’s time you forgot My heart retorts you still love him a lot My mind says he only tried to lure My heart says you don’t know that for sure My mind says he’s treated you bad My heart says only when he’s sad. My mind won’t let up And my heart won’t let up So while my mind churns this way and that My heart knows I can never forget.  • Milena Marques-Zachariah is a Mumbai-Goan and Dubai-Canadian, having spent equal amounts of time in each of these places.
