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

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
