I just wanted them to
ask,
Not bother and bask,
I just wanted them to
care,
That is only obvious
and fare.
I asked not for a sonnet
and a song,
Nor for pretty things
to sing along.
All I asked for was
love,
And none is what I got
till now.
I asked not was cages
of gold,
But the tight grip of
your hold.
I want not the glitter
of your smile,
But for you to be not
apart a mile.
I asked not for divine
embellishments,
But for wet trace of
your rosy armaments.
The love is dead, that
I know,
But life that is mine
is being lost in snow.
In white and in black
you tread,
In things you say are
far important than the bread.
Care, do you really?
Love, hope you could
see fairly.
Such is the loss that
I dearly know,
That it is so much for
me to let go.
Love me, care for me I
beg,
It won’t cost you an
arm or a leg.
I just wanted them to
ask,
Not bother and bask,
I just wanted them to
care,
That is only obvious
and fare.
