An unknowing Thief
Broke into a Safe
in the shadows of the night
and though it was late
and his victim awake
she never put up a fight
through its walls made of lead
and past the lock up ahead
he walked right in in the night
he took all he could find
her heart, soul and mind
and left without knowing he'd been
night after night he kept breaking in
taking whatever he found
everything he saw seemed so scattered around
those walls may as well have been tin
again and again until he was found out-
the game was up
he'd run out of luck
never knowing he'd committed a crime...
but charges were pressed
and the victim obsessed
wanting only to take back her time
but all along she
also an unknowing thief
had been slipping in in the night
to rummage through cabinets and rifle through drawers
again and again, always looking for more
this unknowing thief
broke into my safe
and though it was late
and I still awake I never put up a fight
she took all she could find
my heart, soul and mind
and left without knowing she'd been...
night after night she kept breaking in
taking whatever she found
everything she saw seemed so scattered around
those walls may as well have been tin
again and again until she was found out-
the game was up
she'd run out of luck
never knowing she'd committed a crime...
but charges were pressed
and I obsessed
wanting only to take back my time
our day in court came
we stood side by side
and when the charges were read
we in unison said
"but how could this be a crime?"
once the trial was over
and the charges dismissed
we two thieves shared a kiss...
and at the end of it all breathed a sigh of relief
we were both simply unknowing thieves
i’m not at all mad
and in fact am glad
that the unknowing thief was you
if this hadn't been so
and the thief been unknown
i'm not sure what I would do
