You Stole My Heart

Sleeping is for others
My feelings so hard and brittle
Keep me awake wondering what I have done wrong
Was it me even or was it you?
Your lively run from stagnancy always amazed me.

Why did you forsake me?
What did I do?
Can we start anew?
How will I find you?
Are you anywhere beside my dreams?


I have never had such a hard time
Thinking of words for an acute sadness I have never felt before
But of course I had never had my heart stolen before either
Bring it back as soon as possible
So I can see your face one more time

I will tell her to tell him. Wait. She is finally not speaking to him.
