Oh, how I felt my heart from me had shied

It's to be read as a story connecting the two, but explaining them would make me more amateurish than professional. That's what critics are for. Also posted here and here, to keep track of things.

Oh, how I felt my heart from me had shied
Dejected so it had not will to cope!
Despite beseechings made, it still would mope
And sagging there would not return inside.
My mind walked through, “To you I softly chide,
'Oh heart, how far can you extend your hope
Boundless in depth, as wide as is its scope,
While beating in my chest you sadly hide?'
My mind's cold logic ripped my heart to say,
“So let me be, my wants unsatisfied,
Do what is best, since you'll not follow me
To let me touch the world, that come what may,
To let me have another pair to guide
Past hazards where the joy and sorrow be.”

My mind was straight aback, but gave replies,
“From what I see, it's you that has decided
To leave yourself no hope, and then derided
Me for your faults, me for your basket lies.
You whip us all, my reason must surmise,
For how I gave my thought, you had confided.
Yet you control this, body's actions guided
By feelings there, not reason in its guise.”
I have no anger. You alone my heart
Do ransom in arresting of my Mind.
Impulsive and unreasoning are you
Behaviors worst that I have seen you do
To hesitate, a deed-less work unkind,
For caution in excess no ends impart.
