Seventh of the Seventh

Once one's dreaming of gleaming things
becomes a screaming game of scheming 

Acquisition, that becomes obsession
calls the truest passion into question

Hearts of two, that once were wrapping
round the other, give way to trappings

The price of giving's the cost of living
with no misgivings, may all debts be forgiven?
