Don't Bother Stopping, Theif!

poem

You crept into my heart

Like a thief �"

In the middle of the night �"

But you didn’t steal anything. 

I saw you when I woke up 

And I let you be. 

You made yourself comfortable

And we talked. 

I told you stories and secrets

And you told me jokes

And I made you promise 

“Please tell me when you leave”

Because I knew you would leave

You were a thief after all

And I needed to make sure

I was ready for the fake robbery. 

But then I blinked 

Or maybe fell asleep for a few minutes

Maybe you got bored of my stories and secrets

Maybe you got bored of telling jokes. 

The next time I looked to you

You had disappeared

along with everything around me �"

You had robbed my heart. 

I should call the police

and file a report.

But I must confess:

I’ve been robbed too many times 

to have kept anything of value in my heart.
