Kleptomaniac

 


Kleptomaniac hands

stole my heart.

Took it away, to store

with the rest of their swag.

A glad bag of romantic thoughts.

Dressed in glad rags, to entice,

twisted the blade and sliced,

cutting out my heart, in a single motion,

so precise. Like a surgeon,

me the patient under the knife.

 

Light fingers make light work

of a piece of heart.

You are a work of art,

a trader in stolen parts.

Me a doner, with no card.

A wallet with no money to pay.

You play this game so well,

holding all the cards,

holding everything,

thief with a halo that's your thing.

You know how 

to make men feel like Kings

before taking away everything.

 

I kept all that was left, 

under lock and key.

Swallowed the key, to make it harder

to get to 

the pieces inside of me.

Yet still 

you managed to unlock

the padlock 

over my safe deposit box,

and now I'm left,

no heart.

Just an empty chest

and a state of near constant shock.
