I stole happiness from your years, white haired time wants it back
In a closed bag illusions glimmer and fade
I threw gilded love into a bandit's memory sack
zirconian diamond, of which your devotion was made
Delusions believe what's stolen won't decay
Golden laughter pilfered from your pocket of moment's
Robbed decades of happieness I'm not able to repay
Locked up, fearing costume jewelry will be stolen by opponents
Sorry while you weren't looking I took your dance
stole your dreams, robbed you of fame
took your youth, cheating you of desired romance
your beauty spent, now only cobwebs to reclaim

I know this will be wrong. This write gives me the feel of someone who has spent their entire life just thinking of themselves and taking whatever they wanted from a partner without giving anything in return. Now realises it is to late to put that write. Beauty pf poetry makes you think, a very enjoyable read and wonderful imagery, even if i am wrong.
Be more sure of oneself, one's innitial feelings are usually right. You are spot on and your words are deeply valued
You are very welcome
Wow! All who lived very long at all, know that feeling of violation. That someone that something that was a bandit who stole from us. It was a heartfelt read. One that stirred feelings and memories. Thank you for sharing with us.

The passing of time, it’s implications and inevitabilities corrodes, erodes, and defaces… like a bandit… or something like that. 🙏🏻🕊
Thanks Cryptic and indeed it does. And like most things stolen it is never retrieved. Appreciate the read and comment my friend

This sounds like years wasted on a relationship that ends in ruin and all that time...wasted. A profoundly tragic poem that rings true for many, I would imagine. Well done, my friend. See you on the other side of my vacation!
