Restore your life, you tell yourself this day,
Forget what you were told, it was a lie.
The love you knew you earned has walked away, 
And will not come again. You don't know why.

They come into your life and touch your heart, 
And tell you stories that you find aren't true.
Just let them go, allow them to depart.
To lovers who don't love, you bid adieu.

Your faith in people should not be erased
Since only some have lied and then have strayed,
You hope that some are fine, their hearts encased
In precious gold, and trust won't be betrayed.

There will be some who simply won't bestow
The love they may have promised with their eyes,
They live such loveless lives, they'll never grow.
You see, their faithless hearts are in disguise.

You know they will not always prove to be
As pure as sterling assayed with true art,
And through this process find that you are free, 
You simply may discard them from your heart.

You should not wager how long it will last,
That's always been a loser's game at best,
But questing far and near, some are steadfast,
They will stand by you, they will pass the test.
