The Heart Thief

Like a rock it was hard Yet fragile and delicate It was able to be broken She gave it to him and he loved it He cared for it, he held it He caressed it at night He listened to it, he understood it Gave it wings to take flight He kissed it Hugged it everyday Promised to never hurt it And to love it always But then one day Another one came Catching his attention He dropped the old one and ran away He kicked it, he bruised it Just left it in the rain She picked it up With tears in her eyes She held it in her hands Felt the pain deep inside Who is she? Well she is me Who is he? He's the heart thief And the heart thief... He stole my heart from me
