Prompt five

Thief

 

There is a reason they seem heartless

At one time or another a thief came
They stole love, they stole hope
They stole the very breath of life
Leaving nothing in return
There was no insurance
There was no illusion of safety
Just an empty cavern where love used to beat
There is a reason they seem heartless
And a reason they steal hearts
Trying to replace what once felt like hope
Trying to mimic a beat
Trying to remember what it is like to be free
There is a reason they seem heartless
They just want to believe
That there is something left for them
Somewhere else to breathe
