Tormented and True

I am torn in two.
My head pulls one way
My heart pulls the other.

I am torn in two. 
I am drawn by the future I should want
And enticed by the one I actually do.

I am torn in two.
My mind follows the plan of the man who loves me
My eyes follow the man who never will.

I am torn in two. 
One half is content with the way things will be.
The other half yearns for the lives I will never live.
