Love and Stolen Goods


They told me

'Thieves and lovers like the dark'

But I told them

You were wreathed in shadow

Because you stood inside the light

They told me

'Be careful what you wish for'

And I replied that

You were better than my wildest dreams

I told them

'Love will find a way'

And was reminded that

It's hard to find direction

When you can't move forward

Then I got tired of the sayings

Quotes

Expressions

And decided

To find someone who loved me right

And be happy

Because some of life's

Wonderfully doomed

Adventures

Just aren't worth it
