you exhaust me
leave me bare
and dry
so I can't see
appreciate
the loves I used to have
the other ones
you thief
I want them back

This was short but catchy. Admittedly, I was a little skeptical at the title, however, once I read the poem, I loved it. Needless to say, my favorite lines of the poem were the last four: "..the loves I used to have/ the other ones/ you thief/ I want them back". Excellent job and I hope you continue to write poetry because you are superb at it. Marvelous.
