The Thief

A Short-Life Love Story

By Amelia BuffingtonPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

The Thief

Only sixteen years old I found myself a thief.

He stole my heart but his presence was brief.

He seemed like the quiet before a storm.

The type of love wasn’t hot, but lukewarm.

With dark brown hair and dark brown eyes he grinned.

Hurt a few times so he became thick skinned.

Our time together is now a mirage,

let me leave the room before the applause.

He kissed me goodbye left with his things packed

Never did I get that stolen heart back
