Stolen Moments
feel free to take offence
take all you want
particularly when it is not
my intention to give it
particularly
when I’m not aware of it
when I can’t even feel
you taking anything from me
strip it away
hoard all that offence
to yourself
I won’t miss it
once it’s gone
and you take it so eagerly
it must mean more to you
than it does to me
in fact
I won’t sully what you chose
to take without asking
by explaining
by putting it into any context
even by apologizing
for making it available for you to take
it was like a pie set to cool
you couldn’t resist a slice
but you can’t blame the pie
for being so desirable
you felt compelled to take a piece of it
to eat all of it
until it made you sick
so if I make you sick
feel free
to take your leave
