Thought and Emotion

Why does Thought provoke Emotion? It taunts Emotion. There sits Emotion, at the bottom of my heart, and Thought comes along and pushes it. “Remember this?” It says. “Remember those words sung so sweetly? Don’t you miss that? Don’t you want that?”
Worst part is Thought doesn’t even know what it’s talking about. It doesn’t even agree with itself. When Emotion finally gives in and says, “Yes, yes I do remember that!” As it weighs even heavier on my heart and starts kicking at the walls…Thought scolds it for being so stupid. Thought reminds Emotion that it was better without that in their lives, it was for the best.
Then Emotion, shamefully, agrees, and feels foolish for allowing itself to get so riled up. It stops kicking, and agrees to move on.
This will last for a couple of days, or at least until Thought gets bored and starts to taunt Emotion again.
Poor heart, it gets caught in the cross fire.
