Without Their Heart

The thief stole the noise, 
so the deaf can hear the sound of silence.
He also stole the light,
so the blind can see the blowing wind.
But when he stole one's heart, 
he had also taken away his love. 
For some can hear better when they are deaf,
Some can see better when they are blind,
Some can feel better when they are numb,
Some can taste better without their tongue,
Some can smell better without their nose,
But none can love better without their heart.  
No matter what you do to a person whose heart was gone 
you cannot force him to love you,
unless you make a way 
to bring back his heart.
