Each time he contacts her
the walls begin to crumble
and the tears to fall.

The tears are the cues
for Ms. Intellect to perch
on her right shoulder and
Miss Passion to perch on
her left shoulder.

In her left ear is whispered
"Remember the hot, steamy, and passionate
moments you shared together last time"
making her body tingle as that memory
floats into her mind uninvited.

From the right she feels a pinch
and then hears "Along with those moments
you also suffered many bouts when you thought
your heart was broke and your cheeks would
stay forever tear stained. Remember how exhausted you
were after all the crying was done
so that in the end your decision
was made to cut him out of your life.
Remember you deserve better"
whispered in her ear decisively.

"Remember the soft caressing touches, the passionate kisses
rained all over your body, the gentle nips which drove you crazy,
and the strong arms that held you when all was satisfied.
Do you really want that to disappear from your life?"
whispers Miss Passion seductively.

"All the times you called him when you were upset
but never got a call back, all the tears you shed while the
whole time you are blaming yourself,
and all the times you gave while he just took emotionally.
Do you want to live your life with constant pain in your heart
and always second guessing your decision?" whispers Ms. Intellect persuasively.

Round and round the argument goes
each side makes a good point but
the decision is her and hers alone to make.

It's not an easy decision to make
yet one that has to be made now
if she is to heal and move on.

Passion may have to wait for a bit
for it is satisfied more easily
while emotions are harder
to control and rein in.
