Is there a price on love

Something we must give

Is it really cheap

Or really high priced

Is it really large

Or erratically shaped

Maybe its not something bought

Or even literally given away

Could it possibly be an emotion

Maybe its something else entirely

It cannot be lust

For lust is far from real

Nor is it infatuation

That doesn’t last long enough

No its none of that at all

It's far more than that

To be loved in return

We mustn't give only love

If you want it to last

And be honestly and fully true

Then what you must give is an organ

One vital to your very existence

Yet you don’t give it literally

it is shown through years and emotions

What you give quite simply is your heart

Not so hard I hear you mutter

But of course it is - it always is

Nothing is ever as easy as it seems

You must trust the other a lot

For your heart is fragile you see

They can break it with a word

Or carry it to forever

So I suppose there is a price

A really big price on love

So watch your heart

A really big price on love

So watch your heart

Don’t let it be led astray        

Because as you see my friend

There is a price for love
