Thief that stole…

I was there o. minding my own business and just trying to get by
And then you had to manifest ya crazy sef
Who sent you sef?
Oh I remember her
The woman that asked you to coach me
Coach is all you were asked to do o
Not make me laugh
Not tease me endlessly
Not text me all day
Not keep me company at every point
Not avail your shoulders for me to sleep on
Not listen to me bare my heart
Not help find me a good place to be
Just coach
That’s all you were asked to do
I did not mind your jokes
I did not mind your tease
I did not mind the texts
I did not mind your company
I did not mind your comfy shoulders
I did not mind your listening ear
I did not mind the good place you got me
But I did mind the robbery
I trusted you very much
And that was my “undoing”
Because you used that against me
And You robbed me
You stole my heart
And cupid shamelessly watched on
Coach is all you were asked to do
Not make me fall in love with you
Now see what you done did
Every moment I’m thinking of you
And smiling like an idiot too
At some point all love songs were silly
Now they have absolute meaning
And even my poem from forever ago
Seems like it was written just for you
“When I first met you
I knew for good measure
That what I did do
Was for true pleasure
Try as I may
To think less of you
I find out day by day
That I am made a fool
To keep you from my heart
Is a lifetime in jail
I thought I was smart
But my courage went stale
Now I have discovered
With you, true love is real precious
And also recovered
From being too cautious”
That’s for you, the thief that stole my heart.
