The Bittersweet Crime

It was the best of crimes, it was the worst of crimes.

I long for the day stealing someone’s heart becomes punishable by law, but I highly doubt I’d ever have it in me to hand you in.

You chose your timing carefully

My defenses were down..

A very smooth criminal

You didn’t make a sound

Quietly pierced through my rib-cage

The pain was so profound

I didn’t see it coming

So I was too shocked to frown

I tried to fight and run

But your strength knew no bounds

I tried to beg and plead

And no sympathy was found

I attempted a deadly glare

But your eyes were just too brown!!

So while I was hypnotized

You stole my heart and bounced

It was the best of crimes, it was the worst of crimes.

I long for the day stealing someone’s heart becomes punishable by law, but I know for a fact that I would spend my very last to bail you out.

A beautiful criminal

You stole my heart so fast

Distracting me with laughter

Your humor is unsurpassed

But instead of all this trouble

You could’ve just asked!!

Because darling in the past

I had intense protective measures

To protect my heart as

It’s my very valued treasure

A few have tried to break in

They left carrying displeasure

Their attempts have failed & failed

Each try made me more clever

Gave me a clearer idea

Of what I’d want & what I’d never

Like the Nile that’s in your eyes

They sparkled like the river

A dangerous creation..

Can turn a saint into a sinner

And turn a sinner into a saint,

A forgiver, a caregiver..

I just want to know, who wrote you?

Even Danielle Steel could never!

Where would she find the time,

To write the best novel ever?

Where could she find the words?

How would she paint each letter?

How would she make the human

Form of a divine and holy prayer?

So before stabbing my chest

And reaching towards my center

Snatching my heart away

Causing sudden shock & terror

You could’ve simply asked

I was planning this endeavor

You can’t steal what belongs to you

It’s already yours forever

It was the best of crimes, it was the worst of crimes.

I long for the day stealing someone’s heart becomes punishable by law, but you are above the law.

It was a bitersweet crime,

You stole my heart it’s true..

But you are a beautiful criminal,

And crime looks good on you.
