"When love is lost, life is gained, and a whole new level of love is found..."

I used to think love was a fools game

'Join us! Join us! Let us tear your heart to shreds!'

The taunts, can you hear them?

Calling out to you as you lay in bed?

No..I don't want to play another day.

Go away, leave me be

to pick up the pieces of a shattered heart.

This is a game I no longer play.

Days pass, the maze builds,

will anyone find their way to my heart?

With such barriers put up in their way,

might they just be torn apart?

But you, you're different,

you weaved and waved through this maze.

You found the way to where I lay,

and woke me from the endless daze.

Who are you, that you can enter my heart,

and pull me back into the game?

I thought my life was perfect,

but now I know it was lame.

What is this treasure,

that I hold forever dear?

That keeps me going,

and wipes away all my fears?

Is it you, the one who found me,

lost in the maze of my days?

For you loved me and cared for me

even though I fought to keep you away.

The game is not love for it is shallow lies.

My love was locked and buried in a chest

until you unlocked it

and gave me forever rest.
