To Take Without Permission.

When I first met you,
You took my breath away,
I let you take it,
I let you inhale it
And hide it for safe keeping.

But when I asked for it back,
You told me no,
And then stole another one
From my lips
And my lungs.

And now you've
Used that breath
To twist my words
To keep me silent
To act the victim.

You hurt me
Took all I have,
And then left.
And yet I think
You think it's not wrong.

To take without permission.
