Heart Thief Attack

From afar

you performed the impossible,

stealing my heart

with only a smile.

A look so genuine,

no secrets to hide.

Point of view

forever changed.

Showing me

true love exists.

To never give up

on looking for that special someone.

Constantly at war

between my heart and my brain.

Can this be real?

Do you even know I exist?

Is this the beginning

of something new?

A love so true,

I can taste it on my lips,

feel it through my bones.

Surprise is on me.

For all I am

is a person in the distance

and you will never know

how much you mean to me.

Rebelling against

all common sense.

Ignoring the screams

in my mind

telling me to run away.

Instead,

I follow my heart

and keep the feelings

I know are wrong

deep down inside.

Paying the price

for loving the one

who stole my heart.

Author's Note: With a prompt such as thief with special talents, the ideas could go in any direction. I decided to take the path of writing about finding someone who stole your heart the second you laid eyes on them, even at a distance. And you know that the love will never be returned, but you can't break away.
