Stolen Tears

By Amelia Rose

Stolen tears

Stolen years

All amount to

Stolen fears

If someone steals it

Is it gone?

If you steal the night

Does that bring the dawn?

What if the thief 

Who took without pay 

Didn’t realize

I already gave it away?

A vacant box

There’s nothing left

Stolen emptiness

Is that really theft?
