To the One Who Took All My Favourite Things...

I am making a list

By no means exhaustive

Of what you took from me

Not being scared

I miss it the most

If you could find a way

To return that

Please

Feeling that the world

Was a safe place

Where people could be happy

I would like that back

As well

Accepting the touch

Of someone who loved me

Instead of pulling away

In breathless panic

That one was precious

I keep finding more things

Missing

You took everything

Perhaps

And if you don't plan

To return it

Could I just ask you

Please

Was it worth it?
