Stolen Heart

In December, he stole

her heart.

 

In July, over a year later,

she took it back.

 

He stole for sport:

bicycles, baseball cards, stereos, music….

 

He pilfered from

dumpsters, city dumps, and his work.

 

All privileges were stolen -

trusts, time, rights, dignities.

 

He burgled hearts, their songs,

and more.
