Stolen Love
Stolen Love
Getting off work late
Round about nine O’clock
Running through the alley
Across from the parking lot
Three feet from my car
Someone grabbed me from behind
One man appeared
In front of me saying;
Don’t scream lady its fine
A strong arm around my neck
I found it hard to breathe
I found myself being dragged
Between two palm trees
Masks covered their eyes
Only their mouth did show
Why is this happening
I only wanted to know
“Please stop, Let me go!”
I don’t want your love
To do this selfish act
You got a lot of nerves.
A five minute pleasure
Turned into a life time of pain
I laid there on the ground
Telling myself I am to blame
All of my sorrow I
Could no longer hide
Dead and ashamed is
What I felt inside
Lying on the ground
I cried many tears
To have someone
Take my love
What else can I feel?
Nothing will ever be
The same
I could never explain
How stolen love
Left me lifeless
And brought about
A change
The whole time they
Stole from me
They thought it was a game
Now I spend most of my
Time looking in the mirror
Hating the person I see
Knowing that along the
Way I am no longer me
I cannot change what they
Stole from me that night
They never had permission
Nor did they have the right
If I had the power to change
One thing in my life;
It would be to skip the pain
That I endured that night
