Smart and Smarter


A brilliant mind rewarded
And a silent heart defeated

Does not make a sound
Not a single beep

Then again, the mind is thriving in chaos
It conquers the weakened heart
It's a shallow celebration
But easily deceives the poor guy

Briefly. It does.
In matters of the heart
Even an empty one
Specially an empty one
Is heavy
It's a stone. Hard and heavy.
Petrified, with no chances of growing
Only if it melted
It would have to be a absolutely megalomonous shocking heat wave
Like, almost setting it on fire

And so, the brilliant mind celebrates
The successful scheme
Which defeated the dumb and gullible heart

Then, right after the party
Realizes some cleaning has to be done
Oh but no one wants to do that

Such marvellous talent wasted on cleaning itself up?
No way.

Heart jumps in.
Says he can help.

Mr. Brains couldn't give a damn about it
Tells the sensitive one to mind his own business. (So smart. Puns and everything.)

Convinces the dummie that it's safer not to put emotions on anything. Not even people. Specially people!

The poor one is already silent for so long, he just chooses to believe.
He's sad. He is. And he'll remain sad.

But what can the hopeless romantic do, when the smartass is on charge?

Morrer a dar



Já não espero integridade
Nem verdade
Tampouco bondade

Efêmera intimidade
Criança de idade
Morre cedo
Lev'avontade

Já não espero
Nem quero esperar
Por sonhos que faço
Que teimam em acabar

Quem posso culpar

Quem não me acompanha
Na utopia do amar

Ou quem me deixa
Deixando-me sonhar?
