You were a thief
You've stolen countless valuables
Throughout my brief life
Intimacies were objects
Trust a fleeting thought
Each ripe for the taking
Although to you they meant naught
You striped away my being
Starting from the heart
Leaving me with no voice
Or self belonging thoughts
I'm numb to this theft
As I've been through it before
You'll promise whatever
To take whats not yours

You were a thief
You've stolen countless valuables
Throughout my brief life
Intimacies were objects
Trust a fleeting thought
Each ripe for the taking
Although to you they meant naught
You striped away my being
Starting from the heart
Leaving me with no voice
Or self belonging thoughts
I'm numb to this theft
As I've been through it before
You'll promise whatever
To take whats not yours
Another take on the idea of selfish significant others or just strangers who lead you astray for their benefit.
