STOLEN LOVE

Her presence threatens my life

Her smile threatens my blood pressure

It’s voice that calms my depression

Her first impression was indeed impressive

When her eyes look to my side

I’m inspired to redefine the word love

But there is one thing I hate about her

She steals

She stole my time

My attention

My… everything

But above all… she stole my love

She stole my words and left me speechless

Now I can’t speak my heart to her

My attempt to make it happen faded

The more I try the more I realize I love her more

Now between my mind, my heart, and my words there is war

In my body there is peace no more

My mind and my heart will remain the winners

For when I’m around her

I just lose my words

But there is one thing I hate about her

She steals

She stole my time

My attention

My… everything

But above all… she stole my love

Currently I’m struggling to love any other one

For I am convinced she is the only one

The one I am meant to lay my life down and serve

Serve and love her from every possible angle

Romantically speaking she is meant to be my angel

So many wants a piece of me

But I can’t love no more

It hurts to know she is behind the tragedy

She stole my love

So let us make our own history please
