                                              Whomever you are
                                           you've been a victim too
                                     of a very heart wrenching crime!
                                           You're not the only one
                                             this has happened to,
                                               because it happens 
                                                      to many
                                                   all the time!

                                                  You will never 
                                                   see it coming.
                                                The method used 
                                                   is the utmost 
                                                      in stealth!
                                                   Yours is added 
                                                  to the collection,
                                                that only increases 
                                                     their wealth!

                                                 There's never, ever 
                                               been a capture before!
                                                A description of them
                                                    does not exist!
                                                    The only thing 
                                                that's always known 
                                                       as evidence
                                               about this crime is this....

                                                 No one.... "NO ONE" 
                                                  is ever really safe!
                                                    Nothing works....
                                            NEITHER LOCK NOR KEY!!!
                                                 I do have something
                                                   I must confess....
                                                 see this crime also
                                                   happened to me!

                                                  I wanted to report
                                                   this heinous act!
                                                    I'm sure you've 
                                               thought the same too!!!
                                                 To tell you the truth-
                                                   it will never stop....
                                                 there's more victims
                                                than just me and you!

                                                     But I also must
                                                  make a confession,
                                                    there was a time,
                                                    I employed those
                                                        who do this,
                                                 and I know for a fact
                                                    you did the same....
                                                     we're both guilty
                                                      of being amiss!

                                                    See they'll work for
                                               whomever employs them!
                                                     They have no set 
                                                       place nor time,
                                                     and they're very, 
                                                          very good 
                                                      at what they do....
                                                       see, this crime
                                                    is still on the climb!

                                                       "SO BEWARE".....
                                                      there will always
                                                    be this crime spree! 
                                                  What they do are true
                                                      works of the art!
                                                       As I write this 
                                                       the victims are
                                                          piling up,
                                                      "RIGHT NOW".....
                                                 they are the victims of
                                             "The Thieves Of Our Hearts!"

I sometimes wonder how my heart still beats. Parts of it has been stolen by thieves who should be arrested for assault...but sometimes by ones who innocently love us. You held me captive, Walter.
