what if you welcomed
the thief?
oh honey, come on in,
i've been waiting for you,
looking forward to this day,
to meet you,
so up close and personal
you are scared, you say?
you are craving?
you want a chip?
here, have the whole bag!
i'll fix a meal for you,
what's your favorite?
sit by the fire,
tell me, tell me, sweetheart,
all your troubles,
can you stay for a week or so...?
i've made up the bed
with fresh scented sheets,
would you like to move in
with me?
i tried this today
as i reached for another chip...
and she simply melted
into thin air
can you give you
the love you are looking for?
