Perfect Crime

Like a thief in the night Out of plain sight You left as quickly as you came You stole my heart Right from the start There was no one else to blame You robbed me of my love And all of the above You left me feeling empty You took what was mine My heart and my time And all I have left is a memory Your mask hid your face Your intentions and my fate I didn't know the real you I've put on the pads and locks Started a neighborhood watch To warn others of what not to do I should have called the cops The love special ops You are America's most wanted My heart is now caged in Refuse to be a victim again I will forever be daunted.

I love the rhyme scheme you have used here. The cadence is consistent and catchy. Well done.
