You have been ruthless with my heart
Charging in here all handsome like
Making me do a double take
Creating a skipped beat of my heart
And making me weak in the knees
You show an air of confidence and wisdom
You hold a certain kindness and compassion
And you make me smile and laugh
You may as well just take my heart
You have already stolen it

The man had a menial job
And on an urge decided to rob
He gave in to a whim
It back fired on him
Now it’s prison time for good old Bob

Sorry, was the best I could do for menial… another post to follow later.

Quick quick call the police
My heart has been stolen
And there is no getting it back
He took it with his gentle charm
His wild sense of humor
And the way he looks at me
(I swear I could drown in the sea of his blue eyes and not mind)
I don’t think I need it though as you might guess
I did my best to steal his too
Now we beat for each other
In perfect harmony
Two thieves in the night

It has been a thief
Stealing away things
Minute by minute
The hours are gone
In the blink of an eye
First the pain and fever
Then it steals your very breath
It has consumed my bravery
And taken away my freedoms
And does not seem to be slowing
Leaving me tense angry
And a little confused each night
Another sleepless night
Another tear shed
We must slowly return
To as normal as we can
Or the thief will return
And take more days
Steal more lives
Make us weary of others
And put those we love in danger
We must hear the cries
Feel the anguish
And recognize the needs
There is anger there
And rightly so
He was too young
It was just SO WRONG

Looking through my window
I see the thief at work
He deftly takes the wire
Towards his bountiful prize
He practically stands on his head
And stretches for his feast
Just another day at the bird feeder
For the neighborhood squirrel
