stealing kisses
Oh but that kiss darling
You stole the air I was breathing
Took it for your own to breathe in
Parted lips are too much of a temptation
For you, isn’t it true
Never too exhausted to imbue
My chest rose up and froze
Toss me out of vadose
Just go ahead and throw everything in a bin to disregard
For once I was caught off guard
Slipping my own tricks from my sleeves, copycat
What does one do after that?
You give me almost too much to write of
I’m afraid, love
You continue to have a record for thievery
I thought I’d put enough wrenches into your machinery
The concoction of a device to lure me in every time
You started small with your first crime
Softening my walls a smidge with ironic manners
Daring to stand above all my standards
And under my umbrella and pouring rain
Making me start wishing things in vain
Stealing a soccer ball and a smile wasn’t enough
You made me start to wonder if my feelings you’d rebuff
Snatching my sole attention on another for your own
My best friend you made me disown
Then carried off my wits with your cologne
I thought the ransacking would end
When you took my heart out on a “lend”
But now you’re stealing kisses too
Sampling my mouth with hunger
I wish I’d loved you when I was younger
For all that time was wasted
And I didn’t know until your lips I tasted
