My Laughing Thief

by Klaralyn Gatz

Laughing laughing little man

causing me such grief

breaking through my barriers

stealing like a thief

smiling smiling eyes of green

rob me of my strength

push me closer to the edge

when I'm at the brink

breaking breaking is my heart

taken but not bought

stolen from its pedestal

then dropped without a thought

crying crying blue eyes watch

as you are led away

I find no satisfaction

In knowing that you'll pay

smirking smirking silly boy

you see I bailed you out

you think you're free to run and play

but this I greatly doubt

loving loving precious dear

new chains bind your soul

the debt was paid but with your heart

and I will never grant parole
