Clever Criminal

You keep your heart clamped- chained up with a missing key- because you threw it beneath the rutty soil, earth's forgotten treasure- beneath the spell-cast water where you can breath and keep the stepping stones apart, not afraid to run ahead- knowing she'll trip- chasing your fragile cleverness- but she doesn't know where it begins she doesn't know you took her heart, you took many. And each on their own stone- some half sunk some drilled the core with hatred but one a step behind you, and you glance behind a smile- your sweet sacred, distinct smile. And then you take a leap before you, find the next victim, leaving me, heartless. Yet this all happened before, you clever, clever criminal. Genius or Criminal?
