Love Poem: Thief

Thief

There is a character who waits in the dark.
He is coniving, sneaky, and greedy.
Nobody warned me he would tear me apart.
We were in love, but this is our story.

He showed me that I can be strong.
He said I can open my eyes and see.
He lured me to a place I could belong.
I wasn't like them; to me, he was trustworthy.

Now I know there's a thin line between love and hate,
Little difference between partner in crime and pawn.
How typical. You use me as your bait,
Have your fun, and now you're gone.

At times I wonder what would happen if we'd never met.
In the end, did he help me at all?
God, how I wish I could forget
Because the higher you go, the harder you fall.

It's beyond me how you could love then lie.
You healed me but somehow left me broken.
I didn't think you, of all people, would make me cry.
Little did I know my heart was being stolen.
