Thievery

in locking away our heart....... 
                                  we become the thief of our own happiness


This poem is my reaction to Casarah's latest poem.

This is quite the maxim, friend! Everything we do to others, in the end, we do to ourselves. Time to break the vicious cycle :)

This is true, Richard. Sad...but true. But I understand that sometimes it has to be done. Repeated pain...is just no fun. Great write, though.

Locked hearts over time become difficult to reopen . . . I have not read Casarah's poem but this was outstanding.
