THE HIGH PRICE OF LOVE

 The High Price Of Love

Love is alive and full of zest

Teasing the young at heart

A coy and sensuous maiden

A recipient of Cupid's dart

While embraced in the arms of her first love

Her eyes still take time to roam

She catches a wink from a handsome young man

Soon their love is written in poem

Now her love, so quickly transfered

To this new conquest in her life

Forgotten is her first love

His heart now pierced from love's knife

And all is well, at least she thinks

As time goes dancing by

But her handsome young man has been captured

Drawn in by a young maiden's cry

How can this be, how could he leave

He said we would not part

But now she knows the price you pay

When you freely give your heart

As time goes on another man

Helps ease away her pain

And though she tried she could not feel

His love would be in vain

This maiden girl, now old and tired

Trapped in a cold and loveless affair

Is reminded of her first love

And how she treated him so unfair

Now her life is at it's twilight

True love she has never known

Sadness her only companion

As she sits crying... all alone
