Beggar of love

I am a beggar of your love.
Occasionally crossing your path
As you rush through your busy everyday life.

I reach out my hand in the worn out glove.
Eyes open wide, pleading , praying for warmth
Hoping to collect a node, a smile, or simply a "Hi".

Sometimes you barely notice I'm alive
Brushing against my shoulder, passing me by,
Ignoring the scream of my wide open eyes and I cry.

Another time, you're so generous and kind
As if you notice the words scrapped on a sign,
like today when you pause for a minute and stay beside...

I feed on little crumbs of your attention
Your little crumbs are my only redemption
The only thing that keeps me going, still I starve...
I am just a little beggar of your love.

Hun, you made me cry. I haven't cried in so long till today, and this made me cry again. I guess that's a good thing, but I feel it. It hurts so bad. It's almost gut-wrenching. Thank you for sharing.

I run, I fall. I walk, I sometimes crawl. I give, I take. I bend and yet somehow I break

Well I see you are living my life, or I, yours. Another great poem.
