"Criminal"
He broke into your house one day.
Stealing all you own.
He manages to slip away.
As your window curtains sway,
He sneaks in all alone.
He broke into your house one day.
One the floor some glass shards lay.
You let out a loud groan.
He manages to slip away.
He had no intention to repay,
As was clearly shown.
He broke into your house one day.
All his plans went his way.
His Identity unknown.
He manages to slip away.
Until the day you get away,
He shall take all that you own.
He broke into your house one day.
He manages to slip away.
