Sometimes a person enters our lives

Brightens our days

Making our hearts smile

Opening windows and doors thought closed forever

Seeing them, hearing them makes us beam in happiness

Sadness becomes a thing of the past

Darkness is only light

Hearts once iced

Now warm as a hot summer day

Faces once dull and lifeless

Now shining with love and life

One person causes this change

Nurturing it along

Another enters and observes this happiness

Envies it

Is jealous of it

Decides to take it away

Edges closer and closer

The other's light begins to fade

Slowly dying out

The darkness moves in

The heart starts to ice

From neglect

The other wins

Taking the love away

While our light is burned out in the dark
