The Thief
A thief in the night I am
Just a patient observer if you will
Watching the barefoot princess
Looking at the moon reflect in her eyes
Taking note of the jokers
The ones who seek to capture her heart’s eye
They don’t seek to satisfy
But use her to quench their own selfish wants
When can I save her from them?
From their gnashing teeth and alluring lies?
Their facades are attractive
And their promises swoon her fragile heart
My Love, will you start to see?
I cannot wait here much longer watching
My heart cannot take the pain
The pain of watching you throw it all down
The jokers will always come
Perhaps I will always be here waiting
Observing your soft footsteps
And musing on you, beautiful princess
