A Game of Hide and Seek

Love drives a big black car
Residing alone in the back seat I sit still
Each row satisfies two lovers with room enough for them to sit in each other's arms
My legs filled with envy from the comfort seen in front
Eyes turned aside to avoid seeing that which I desire
But my ears provide imagery much more powerful

Love makes its way into the lives of everyone
Somehow there is a burier laying in front of me
This invisible wall stronger then the curtains of iron
It seems to have broken Cupid's arrows
Not that he has that great of aim anyways

Whatever definition of love you may have it hasn't found me
Maybe in this game of hide and seek my spot proves too good
Too excluded
Too dark
I have ventured off afar into a ravine that love would never think to look in
Perhaps if I uncover my eyes I'll see what they do
A valentines day worth being awake for
But sleeping is comfortable

I'll keep my eyes open but never my heart
I can always live without my sight
But take away my heart and I go cold
If love is of the eyes one day I'll see it
But the deeper love people talk about feeling in their hearts I'll never have
For if I take out the stitches in my ventricles to let in gentle hands
Even their soft touch will leave me pale
Lifless on the floor
Love can kill you or love can save you
I guess I'll never know what it has in store for me
I'm staying right here
In this perfect hiding spot
Waiting for love to come and poke me
Exclaiming it has finally found me
Found ME
