Don’t Steal My Love

Don’t steal my love This is not a bargain made No trade to be made Admiring me from a far Engaging in the inevitable Don’t steal my love Attending the counsellors of justice Bewilderment never too far Darkness grows in the brightest of lights Don’t steal my love In your haste we board an abandoned ship The traders at bay Don’t steal my love Even when you don’t hear my pleas Beyond what’s been borrowed and stolen Don’t steal my love for something you don’t want That ship you boarded You moored her stern and waded in the inevitable Don’t steal my love when you can’t go on When you first laid eyes on me Upon the land of where we stood together Alongside our ills Our eyes spoke our truth And yet you forget Don’t steal my love in haste Don’t steal my love beyond yourself
