It is called a metaphor. A metaphor is a type of figurative language
A simile is a figure of speech that makes a direct comparison between two things starting that one thing is the same as the other.
A direct comparison of two things in which they are said to be the same is called a metaphor. In a metaphor, one thing is described in terms of another, highlighting similarities between them without using "like" or "as," which distinguishes it from a simile. For example, saying "Time is a thief" implies that time steals moments from our lives, suggesting a deeper connection between the concepts of time and theft.

A simile is a comparison between two things using the words "like" and "as." A comparison without these words is known as a metaphor.
Similes make comparisons using "like" or "as," while metaphors make direct comparisons without using "like" or "as." Similes create a clear comparison between two things, while metaphors imply a comparison by stating that one thing is another.
A direct metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an explicit comparison between two unlike things, stating that one is the other. For example, saying "Time is a thief" directly equates time with a thief, suggesting that time steals moments from our lives. Unlike implied metaphors, which suggest a comparison without stating it outright, direct metaphors clearly establish the relationship, enhancing the imagery and meaning in a concise way.
