The Thief


It starts out fun, When romance has begun The world no longer can scare you. Don't let your guard down For that's when you'll drown Cause the thief takes all he is due He'll look into your eyes But's all a disguise He's tricky and such a nice guy He'll give you a kiss It's easy to miss The signs that it is all a lie He takes all your money But calls you his "honey" Surely, this is true love! He'll take your new car Now your in too far In to give a nice shove Next is your name, Like its some kind of game You wonder who you really are But do not despair! Read this poem and beware. The thief is so smart and clever But if you step back And plan your attack You'll be safe forever.
