Thief in the House

She stole my heart away
Sneaked in sure but not astray
She must have known all along
Several others, but she was among

What air of self confidence!
No, she is not guilty of negligence
She set about her task with much efficiency
Not with an iota of dependency

Perhaps I was not on my guard
Aren’t thieves supposed to be bad?
Why like an angel this doth appear?
It really goes back in arrears

Just when I thought I was in charge
At my emotions, she threw the dart
That must be from cupid
And no, it’s not stupid

These things hit you like a force
With little understanding of love
You just know you are lost
In the wilderness of love

Oh, maybe its self deception
But still I wait in full reception
But even dreams do come true
Taking misery out of the blue
