Stolen Moments (Revised)

You may paint me scarlet or call me a harlot! Crown me with infidelity, if you must! Do I feel any guilt, turning away from you? No, not in the least! I feel so incomplete! But you knew of my first love, didn’t you? I am a song that was already sung! How I need my stolen moments Without them I feel so lost! You know the depth of this love I feel How this essence feeds my soul! So many times I have consumed bitter poison I should have died, but for my love, Who fought to keep my sanity And drove the demons away How I need my stolen moments Without them I feel so lost! But, you’ve known this all along. It was never hid from you! Yet you pursue me with such diligence Attempts to dissuade you shatter and fail! A typical stalker, you refuse to give it up I’d drop you today! If there was any chance I could With your nagging persistence, you always interrupt! How I need my stolen moments Without them I feel so lost! Forgive me, but I must escape There can be no more delay This sweet addiction is so very real Sucks me in like the air I breathe My love for poetry is endless and this you'll have to accept When I lie as stone, already forgotten, you'd only leave a wreath While my love and I'll live forever, throughout time and space So you see, I must have my stolen moments Without them I would be no more! *Still venting about the obligations that constantly encroach on "my" time. Bet you thought this was something "juicy" huh?!! lol.. No, just about poetry. Love, Audrey
