Stop! Thief!

I used to have a heart, a soul,
A spirit filled with promise that was
Blind to passion's overfill, the overkill
That cuts the vein and
Lays it open 'til the flow
Of heavy blood has paid the toll,
And the heart is starved of precious life
Drowning in a sea of pain.

I was happily naive,
Exuberantly overjoyed
Until you made your entrance like
An actor walking on a stage;
Pondering your audience,
Lines rehearsed, emotions packaged
Waiting for the moment to
Unleash your frightening fits of rage.

You came stalking with intent
Leaving my heart filled with grief,
And then you stole my innocence
As if you were a common thief.
