Thief
she is a thief
she takes from you
and never returns
speak and you are unprotected
she makes no moves
she'll do you no harm
but simply aborbs your words
and stores them to be recalled
your memories and imagination
your hopes and dreams
your sorrows and losses
you'll never even know they're gone
you'll have nothing back from her
never take glory from fame that is rightfully yours
words that escape through her pilfering lips
will give no credit to your name
she is a thief
watch for her
say nothing
lose nothing
