In the darkness of night
You stole my heart.

Four hours of constant conversation
Was all it took.
I didn't realize how much you stole.
Not until months later.

Another hour of constant conversation
And I began to realize.
You stole my heart
Piece be piece
Slowly, so slowly.

Some months later you made it clear.
Not only did you steal my heart,
You took my breath away.
After being broken for so long
You broke through the cage
And all my insecurities
To steal my most precious gift;
My broken, scarred heart.

It's been months since you broke into the vault;
You broke through my protection.
I lost my heart to you
But now i feel it breaking again.

You've stolen me
But you're breaking me now too.
I feel the cracks emerging.
How could I leave myself open for you to break in?
You've stolen me but I don't want to take it back.

I don't know how much of your heart I've stolen.
I wonder if you've realized
How much of me you've taken.
You consume my thoughts
Day and night.
But do I consume yours?

How much of your heart have I stolen?
How much of you actually cares about me?
Have you realized what you're doing?
Do you realize you're breaking me
Even while you're stealing me away?
I'm scared that I won't be able to fix this.
Not after all that's happened.
