She Stole From Me

She stole from me
 
She stole from me
 The beauty of my youth
 The innocence of my manhood
 The soundness of my mind
 She corrupted everything in me like a HIV virus
 She stole from me, my pure loving heart
 
Like a thief in the night she came into my life
 Stealing what i valued the most
 My honour, dignity, integrity and pride
 She stole from me my passion 
She stole from me my kingly smile
 She went away with the treasures of my kingdom
 
She stole from me what was not hers
 Tried to drove me to hell in a ferrari
 Taking what was not given to her
 She stole from me my desires and my dreams
 She took off with my happiness
 She defied all the laws of my heart
 
She stole from me the hope of a better tomorrow
 She forced herself to dwell in the comforts of my family and friends
 Gave herself a title in my life
 Relied on my ignorance of life
 She stole what i deemed to be mine 
Now i am just a shadow of a man.
