He stands as a pillar of stone
A guard
At the door
To the passage
To his heart

He made his mistakes
Once
He won't again
No
Never again

Love cost him dearly
Now anger
Costs him
Love

She sits on her bed
And cries
All alone
Because the man
That she loved
Threw her away

Treated her like trash
For a woman who is

Love cost her dearly
Now hate
Cost her
Love

They sit
On opposite
Sides of the room
They don't talk
If they did
They would just
Fight
Again

Both sure that they're right
They won't compromise
So stuck in their ways
They just
Won't
Budge

Love cost them dearly
Now apathy
Cost them
Love

Love is not the
Warm fuzzies
When you're with them
It's commitment
It's compassion
It's forgiveness
It's pushing through to the end
True love starts
When the warm fuzzies are gone
What's left
Is
Love
