A Lonely Thief

Killer of my emotions, last piece of a dying heart
Presented on a silver plate, taken by murder apart

Love then stolen by lies, crushed under boots toe
Tales weaved, twisted, tossed feelings to and fro

Vanishing warmth, every early tear
Spilled jet drops of tedious  pain and fear

Hard bondage so bitter, my childlike animal grief
Sunken eyes, sad dullness, hearts killer a lonely thief
