Your soul you can keep, but your heart is mine
(not that souls are for keeping, they go to the heavens
(or hells, as it were))
Your heart I shall steal, to replace with mine
To live with the heart of another beating in our bosoms
With my eyes I shall
        capture
        ensnare
        and seize
What I claim here and now is mine
                                                        But to be fair
I'll give to you an equal gift
Only slightly cracked&fixed;
Which you have rightly stolen for yourself
With naught but
        a look
        a smile
        a word
And yet have not laid your claim to
BUT
When I steal your heart with my
                        dangerous eyes
You'll have no choice but
to
take mine
too
