Thief

People destroy love
It is what they do
To take a thing of value
And devalue it
They take they keep

Lovers destroy trust
Thus diminish lust
They take red hot
And turn it blue

And you race fast, you
Finish last, you
Finish love, you
Finished us

The waste of our
Togetherness
Is neverness
Is soul trespass
Is skidding up
Upon your arse

I cannot crawl
Inside your mind
Or ever bear
To find to find
Whatever festers there
The discrepancy
Dictating you to be
Nothing more
Than a common thief

You took away sobriety
You stole away
From me from me
You are a thief
You are a thief
You are a thief

You destroy love
It is what you do
To take a thing of value
And devalue it
You take you keep
You are a thief.
