Stolen Moments (Revised)
You may paint me scarlet or call me a harlot!
Crown me with infidelity, if you must!
Do I feel any guilt, turning away from you?
No, not in the least! I feel so incomplete!
But you knew of my first love, didn’t you?
I am a song that was already sung!
How I need my stolen moments
Without them I feel so lost!
You know the depth of this love I feel
How this essence feeds my soul!
So many times I have consumed bitter poison
I should have died, but for my love,
Who fought to keep my sanity
And drove the demons away
How I need my stolen moments
Without them I feel so lost!
But, you’ve known this all along. It was never hid from you!
Yet you pursue me with such diligence
Attempts to dissuade you shatter and fail!
A typical stalker, you refuse to give it up
I’d drop you today! If there was any chance I could
With your nagging persistence, you always interrupt!
How I need my stolen moments
Without them I feel so lost!
Forgive me, but I must escape
There can be no more delay
This sweet addiction is so very real
Sucks me in like the air I breathe
My love for poetry is endless and this you'll have to accept
When I lie as stone, already forgotten, you'd only leave a wreath
While my love and I'll live forever, throughout time and space
So you see, I must have my stolen moments
Without them I would be no more!
*Still venting about the obligations that constantly encroach on "my" time. Bet you thought
this was something "juicy" huh?!! lol.. No, just about poetry. Love, Audrey
