If For Love You Lost Your Heart

If for love you lost your heart
To someone that care and share: a friend
You’ve got a case with the one who moulded our hearts
For your heart is meant to be sacrificially shared.
 
If for love you lost your heart
To the flowers and flavours of this world
 Sit upright and pander on this little light
The flowers will one day fade and the flavours will fall.
 
If for love you lost your heart
To the golden cities, scepters and sword
One day you’ll say goodbye and they will never cry
For you met them here; a borrowed world.
 
If for love you lost your heart
Think of the creator’s breath in the beginning  
 We all borrowed for it to live, yet
A million breath remains with him.
 
If for love you lost your heart
To someone you love and cherish so much
 Your heart is lying dead in the depth of lust
For the apex of love is not so weak as such…..
