About This Poem

A Lover’s Heist: you stole the sun from my heart

I was listening to the song “you stole the sun from my heart” by the Manic Street Preachers and I wanted to make this idea into a poem.

One line from the song: “you have broken down my armour” is a line I don’t particularly like, but I do like the idea, which is where the wall and wrecking ball came from.

I chose to use a ‘bank heist’ style theme for the message as these things usually start (according to Hollywood) with some level of deception, before wreckage, violence, thieving and, eventually, disappearance leave destruction in its wake.
