Poem for the day - a triolet:

“Lingering heart strings”

her mind says to just let go

but the heart wishes to stay

though his betrayal was a blow

her mind says to just let go

and when he pleads just say no

but the heart still gets its way

her mind says to just let go

but the heart wishes to stay
