I crept past those who wander night streets, I slink in the shadows of doorways, and past the light of 3rd and 5th street lay an unbeating boy-awaiting so patiently- for what I’ve stolen. I cradle my most precious prize as it glows and glitters in my eyes and illuminates my disgruntled grin, “At least I had it for a while…” God, I’m sorry, but there’s something I’ve stolen, And with a prolonged sigh I let it free for it dejected me… With a pleased grin he tossed and turned, the beating boy regained his treasure. God, he no longer beats for me.

It Was Mine
I crept past those who wander night streets, I slink in the shadows of doorways, and past the light of 3rd and 5th street lay an unbeating boy-awaiting so patiently- for what I’ve stolen. I cradle my most precious prize as it glows and glitters in my eyes and illuminates my disgruntled grin, “At least I had it for a while…” God, I’m sorry, but there’s something I’ve stolen, And with a prolonged sigh I let it free for it dejected me… With a pleased grin he tossed and turned, the beating boy regained his treasure. God, he no longer beats for me.
