Generosity - Mirah

Remember we held you

Our bodies pressed against you

We required nothing more

Than what you provided for

The rings they tell me

How sickness befell thee

And all the wrongs we dealt thee

In spite of your generosity

It was all of my energy

More than I wanted to give

I am empty

I won’t give more

Am I still invited to stay

I’ve worn my welcome

There was more before I came

We’ve eaten unrestrained

But now these green fruits will remain sour

These clouds we’ve made can not make rain

I gave you all of my energy

And you took it without thanks

You once showed such promise

But now I won’t give more

I won’t give more

(We just want more)

I won’t give more

(We just want more)

I won’t give more

(We just want more)

I won’t give more…
