Stolen

The pen started in my hand
Writing forever
Never wanting to end

The pages flying by
Wondering what will happen next 
In a blink of an eye

Scribbles made here and there
Ink spilled 
Everywhere

Creases were being made
By the reader
Up in the corner of the page

Someone else was taking over
With a cold heart
And never sober

All of the rights were handed to him
As I watched my words 
Fade within

Beneath the pages
I knew what I wrote

I fought the tears 
And sold my soul
