The Thief

Breaks through my garden gates of innocence,

Tramples over my marigolds and my roses

Like a violent tornado going round,

Round and round.


Unwelcome and unwanted,

He takes my one and only precious lotus flower

That I will never be able regrow again.


He takes his leave from my ruined garden

With exploding footsteps to the gate,

My sweet innocent garden now sour with pain.


My sweet, sweet virgin flower,

How I miss having you in my garden.

You were the holder of my innocence and purity.

You were what made my garden shine.


Now the flowers wither and die

As the weeds grow and flourish,

Replacing the purity my garden once had

with putridity and torture.
