Head versus Heart

Why hello there.
Go away
Ouch, already don't like me? You know I can't leave you.
Can't you at least be quiet? Please..
Silly girl, you can't deny me, I am you.
Maybe...
Of course I am. I'm your reasoning child, without me you would be even more fucked up then you are now
I'm not fucked up-
No lying to me now; remember I see everything
Even so there's nothing wrong with me.
I've seen you at your worst, I've seen you bleed and cry-
And I've watched you lie and cheat and betray!
To protect you, only to protect us! That's why you have me in the first place.
I'm not so sure...
The only reason you've been hurt at all is when you've ignored me.
I can't believe that
Why not? It's true. I remember an instance not too long ago even-
Shut up, shut up!
A little bold eh? Where was that fire then hmm? I could have helped you, saved you, but you had to block me out. Tell me, are you happy with that choice?
...no...
Then I am right. You were barely beating after that, remember?
It only made me stronger
You're a liar! You've convinced yourself you've conquered it, convinced yourself it won't happened again-
It won't! Never!
You're naive and stupid - what a combination!
Go away
Deja vu my dear, I'm not leaving
Then why can't you be nice to me?
Nice? Is that what you want? Not honesty?
I don't know, can I have both?
Great, now you don't even know what you want now. Did you even know before?
I don't think so...
What do you want? Work with me here.
I want to be safe.
Safe? Are you serious? That is all I have offered you all along.
How?
You're obviously too stupid to be on you're own. We can't let anyone in- anyone. It'll be us versus them; they can't exploit us and hurt us and use us if they don't really know us.
I guess...but won't I be lonely?
Oh shut up, you and I are a team, we don't need other.
Maybe you're right...
Of course I am, I'm your reasoning. Are you with me?     
Yeah, I think so...
Quite an old conversation between two parts of me: my mind and my heart. I found it recently scribbled on a piece of torn paper in a drawer/

Who has won this conversation?

hmmm
well I think at some point everyone experiences this inner struggle and everyone at some point will be able to relate
but I always think it best to listen to your head
but that's much easier said than done as I've now come to realize
