Stolen Heart

You stole my heart 
I could not see
but I felt it 
inside of me

You stole my heart
you did not think
that yours would part
but I stole it, in return

Something's gone
but something's left
It is your heart 
that I have kept

You stole my heart
so I stole yours
but would I let go
if you let go first?

No, I want your heart
and you want mine
Is this something 
rare to find?

Yes, a heart like yours
is rare to find
I'll take your heart
if you'll keep mine.

Maryam, This is an enchanting poem beautifully written. Most enjoyable thing is simplicity and purity of thoughts -free of complications. I pay my tribute to you. Thanks also for your eloquent comments on my poem 'Do not Knock'. God Bless You. - Sincerely, Mohammad.
