The Criminal

A criminal burrows deep in my heart
Breaking and entering into my soul
Steals my emotions and tears them apart
Removing my feeling of being whole
Murdering my last childhood innocence
Taking away what I enjoy the most
Killing my feeling of independence
Ignoring and treating me like a ghost
Slashing and cutting straight into my core
My feeling of safety is destroyed
Making me restless because we’re at war
Hopeless, defeated, and left with a void
But I cannot resist his temptation
Leading me onward to true salvation
