Defining Moments

What is love without a cost
What is faith without loss
This is your price to pay
You have something to give, not just to take
I am not an instrument to be thoughtlessly played
Nor a step for you to rest your feet
I am not a precious stone to be stolen or sold away
Nor to be used like a weapon in a vengeful scheme
Love is more
Whether these words will be scars
or written on your heart
You have a choice to make
Love is what is left over when being in love fades away
 This is your price to pay
Faith is more than just leaving when every second is spent in pain
 I do not lift you up for you to condescend
Nor do I promise you hurt will end
I do not agree to vows if left at the alter
Faith is more than a crutch for when you falter
