Thief In the Night

" The Thief In The Night  " ....


Like a thief you came into my life ,
Cutting away my health with  your knife ,

Silently  you came with no voice,
Taking away that which I use to rejoice,


Leaving me a shell of a man ,
In only the way that  you can ,

Making my head like it was going to split,
Then throwing me into the darkest pit, 


Where I don't have the use of my leg, 
And can't talk to say ,"Stop" , or beg, 

As well as taking away  my arm , 
Making me panic and not being calm ,


All down one side my face Has dropped,
But  you won't let up, you haven't stopped,

You have also stolen my memory,
And left me with fear of what the future will be , 


Then you sneak away like a thief in the night ,
Leaving another soul that's a broken sight , 

But what's Taken away can be replaced , 
And doesn't  need to leave a bitter taste ,


For I,m inside just waiting to break free ,  
To put back what has Become of me , 

The one thing  you can't take  and that is hope , 
So tell me Mr Thief, now who is the dope .....
