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.
