The Thief
You stole my heart
as well as my security deposit.
You grew your lies upon
my womanly intuition
as it grew like bonfires
lighting up the sky.
I knew by looking in your eyes,
you are drowning in your stories
of disguise, (You are not a spy).
You might try to hide
but you are like a cat,
everyone can see your
wiggling butt.
I know a thief when I see one.

Author's Note
My boyfriend has addictions and he has stolen from me in the past. This poem was inspired by those times in our relationship. He is in recovery now. I love him very much and the hardest thing I've had to do is let him go so he could get clean. He will always struggle with this disease so I will not leave him alone. I just know when too make him leave and be honest with me. God would do the same for him. I made a vow when I decided to be with him, I love him enough to support him but not allow him to manipulate me anymore. You can love someone but that doesn't make them trustworthy. They have to earn that.

Thank you. I believe if you love someone enough you can let go of their flaws, and be patient. If they love you the same they will be there in the end. I learned what my responsibility is. I can't change anyone but myself same for everyone else. I don't want my boyfriend to feel abandoned, he's done that too himself already. I just want him to grow. I had to let him go so he can deal. He will always have trouble. So do I. It wouldn't be fair to anyone if I didn't give him a chance. I love him so does God. I made a vow when I decided to be with him. Through health, wealth, and happiness. Through God we will prevail. Plus he and I already told each other we are here for each other tell the end. Who wants to go through this world alone? I don't he doesn't so we are best friends forever, and partners.
