You Missed a Step

When you left 

You ran away with something 

Viable to my being

To the people around me

To you.

When you went out that apartment door you broke something out of its cage and snatched it up. 

When you were finally safe and away from me you tried to mend it

You called me

Telling me you wanted to fix things and be friends

I would sigh through the phone

Not having a care in the world

I had no feelings 

No sadness

Or feelings of regret

I couldn’t feel

Because you had stolen my heart.
