you have stolen me


the desire to dream

the desire to love and live

you have stolen from me

my passion,

my hope,

my peace,

all which you stole from me

don't you see,

you have left me bare

with no tears, laughter or even a smile

who allows you to come back

you've taken enough

my body,

my soul

i adjure you to leave,

let me be in peace

don't you see,

you haunt me in my sleep

i won't tell you to leave

i want to see,

what will you leave in me
