The main idea of the poem is that the heart wants to maximize pleasure and minimize pain. In order to reduce the pain and suffering the Poet talks about finding excuses to get away from the heartache. If that does not work, then she wants to use painkillers like anodynes to deaden the pain. If the pain killers do not hel0 then the poet talks about how the heart seeks sleep, a temporary escape. And if all else fails then the heart wishes to have the liberty to die.
