I finally had to face the truth, <br />Though it brings me a mountain of grief, <br />My eyes were blind, but now I see.... <br />The man that I love is a thief! <br /> <br />Day and night, he robs me of peace, <br />He makes me all nervous and dizzy, <br />Now he stole my will to resist... <br />That leaves me in quite a tizzy <br /> <br />He comes to me when darkness falls, <br />I'm in awe of his strategy, <br />He steals a kiss, then takes my love, <br />My closed eyes pretend not to see <br /> <br />One night when I was all alone, <br />Without warning, he stole my heart, <br />But my dear thief can't help himself, <br />Too long he's been playing this part <br /> <br />Dearest thief, are you not aware <br />There's no need to steal from me, <br />Simply ask me for what you want.... <br />I'll give it to you willingly <br /> <br />I filed complaints against this man, <br />He'll have to pay a penalty, <br />And when his sentence they pronounce, <br />I hope they give him life.... with me!<br /><br />Lora Colon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-love-thief/
