Love At All Cost

It's not what you saw or seen
it's not what you had in your head
it's never the way it seems
at times it seems all but dead

love is not easy like that
nor is it something to find
it's more like a symphony
the building of a beautiful music kind

Even if your heart takes for granted
all the love that you gave
your head will try to warn you
make sure you're well aware....

and just when you think you have it
could be just your state of mind
of a love lost forlorn soul
that sees all but the truth he finds

For love is the greatest illusion,
yet is honest and real
but try to put it in a bottle
it becomes all so surreal

then watch it slip through your fingers
as it makes it way to your heart
and forms a perfect arrow
that gives you a painful start

it's not what she says
it's not what he does
it's not how you feel
it's not what it was

it's not tears that you cry
makes you want to lay down and die
it's not gut-wrenching hurt that you feel
makes you wish for your last meal

it's tearing and ripping your soul into two
it's shredding your heart and
makes you feel like the only fool
it's wishing for more and never wanting it to end
it's loving him more then you could ever pretend

what is love
is it all what we know
can we find it in you
is it something to bestow
do we learn it from heaven
our hearts overflow
did I take it for granted
did you think I too slow
Did we not reach for the highest
and fall short our grasp
did we not love from the farthest
and let go of our past.......

Did I forget where I was
did you allow me to be lost
did you measure my words
Did you love me at all costs......
