A heart that's lost, a wasted youth.

About Someone

Thief’s Shadow

In the shadows of your gaze,
Lies a theft that does amaze.
Each word you spoke, each act you played,
Turned my trust to a dull shade.
Your theft, a haunting light,
Turned my brightness into night.
With every lie, every sigh,
You made my confidence die.
Your deceit, a cold wave,
In your presence, I am brave.
In your absence, I found my voice,
Learning to make my own choice.
Forever growing, forever true,
In your shadow, life renews.
