coping

[effusive_notion]

what is the difference
between the head
and the heart?
18 inches, so hard a gap to cross
i can reach but i can't connect
i understand these words
i process them
i hear them
i know
but do i feel?
i feel these emotions
they resonate in me
they sting me
they grow
but do i understand?
to join a thought and feeling
is a task unsurmountable
yet here i sit and try
and here i sit and wonder why
