The Heart Thief
Like a rock it was hard
Yet fragile and delicate
It was able to be broken
She gave it to him and he loved it
He cared for it, he held it
He caressed it at night
He listened to it, he understood it
Gave it wings to take flight
He kissed it
Hugged it everyday
Promised to never hurt it
And to love it always
But then one day
Another one came
Catching his attention
He dropped the old one and ran away
He kicked it, he bruised it
Just left it in the rain
She picked it up
With tears in her eyes
She held it in her hands
Felt the pain deep inside
Who is she?
Well she is me
Who is he?
He's the heart thief
And the heart thief...
He stole my heart from me
