Ask From the Elders

A thief is a guy who steals your heart.
Who only likes your from outside but never really loved from the start.
As one of his trophies you are put on his shelf.
Then he goes away looking for another fish to catch.
Whilst you are lying to yourself that he is the perfect match.
Yet you only looked at how much money he has.
And never really looked at his past affairs.
But what will you do when the money is gone.
Ask from the elders, the results of such relationships are known.

A thief is a girl who loves you for what you have.
Who loves you in word but says to herself,” I’m not what you deserve”.
She moves around looking for other suitors.
And you are led to believe that you are meant to be
When she goes outside she puts you in a pocket so that no one can see.
Because she’s afraid that her friends will laugh at her because of your looks.
Especially after the praises she gives herself, the stories she cooks.
But what will do when you catch her with another man at last.
Ask from the elders, relationships like that end badly and fast.

A thief is a person who takes this poem and says it is his.
To go around boasting to the little girls he wants to please.
Relationships can never be based on outward pleasing.
If he says he loves you first ask her the reason.
And do not listen to the flattering words coming from her lips.
Ask from the elders, they will give you some helpful tips.
