The beggar explains eagerly Asking for more than I have All I offer are words The beggar pleads Asking for something All I offer is wit The beggar cries Asking for love All I offer are tears I only cause her misery Yet she’ll wait another day to be stabbed by the same knife

A Beggar
The beggar explains eagerly Asking for more than I have All I offer are words The beggar pleads Asking for something All I offer is wit The beggar cries Asking for love All I offer are tears I only cause her misery Yet she’ll wait another day to be stabbed by the same knife
