Thief-by Susan Thomas

There was a time
You were my friend
A time I held your hand
A time I gave you my heart
It was a leap of faith
To trust you
With something so dear
Thought things were great
Your company
Made the prison of school
Actually bearable
Someone whispered petty rumors
In your ear
You built a wall
To keep me out
Took my heart
And stomped on it
You were eager to believe
Rumors so cruel
That they couldn't be true
Suddenly there was a hate
You played judge and jury
Deciding my suffering should be great
You stole my trust
Left me with doubt
My mind consumed with despair
I now cried myself to sleep
Thoughts of suicide
My blanket of comfort
You stole my happiness
And made misery the norm.
