House Rules

Once upon a dream, a fantasy...an illusion, you appeared
in my life and turned it inside out.

I lived for your voice softly whispering my name.

To look into your eyes was heaven;
I believed the game you played.

I thought I understood the rules and I carefully
tiptoed around the limitations.

What I didn't realize was you played by house rules.
