Thief

I saw you coming from afar, you kept a steady beat with your feet. My heart started racing, knowing you'd be my defeat. I refused to give up. I refused to let go, but you made sure no one was watching to stay for the show. There were no witnesses, when you knocked on my door. Next thing I know, I'm bleeding on the floor. I tried to fight back, kicked and screamed my lungs out. before you know it, my eyesight gave out. In the far distance, I hear the cops' voices. They come closer and stop, startled and distraught. "Who would've done this? It's messy to say the least. Who ever done this, has unleashed the beast." "There's one thing, that doesn't quite add up. They took the body, didn't bother to clean up." It wasn't a murder, just a thief at its best. I tried and I fought, but my heart couldn't detest. We walked away, hand in hand. The cops say it'll be a mystery they'll never understand.
