The soft fall of uncut hair
reminds me, as it covers eyes
of all you hid, and never felt

The soft curve of boyish jaw
dimpled cheek, reminds me
you're harder than you seem

Underneath desire to be seen
is that to be held in love
away from all who misread you

when they see you

In silence accustomed to us
losing psychadelic train of thought
murmur and point, avoiding my eyes

Need never to see you again
if this is all I get...

Nor any promise that you DID
and still DO, for it is lie upon lie
suffocated by one another, long found out.


Instant karma's gonna get you.

What a clever title, "Kleptomaniac of hearts"! I am intrigued by how your poetic mind works!

Some people never learn..total fool.
One of your finest Gem, small suggestion? I like the title simply as kleptomaniac.

Yeah, Gemma, once they start telling you lies,
they just get bigger and bigger. You can't believe
a word they say, then. I know from past esperience.

Has anyone seen my breath?

   ... I seem to have lost it as I read this.

              True to heart, Gem.
