Stolen Heart

Written for my first love - who played me

Stolen Heart

I'm standing here
in an endless black forest
still, petrified with fear
as the shadows creep closer
and the red eyes come near
in a single crystal tear
I see my brutal death
My fate is upsettingly clear
I see his claw rip me
how he tears out my heart
crushing my will to persevere
he smiles and turns away
leaving me staring after him
the blank stare of death
no breath stirs the leaves
as they fall on my body
as I wait motionless
for my involuntary love to return
