Greed
In the long, sleepless nights
I long to hear a familiar, comforting voice
Like a traveler in the desert longing for water....
Just that gentle smile
Can be enough to quench the thirst for acceptance...
The passion to be understood...
The sweet breeze from the trees in the scorching heat...
The caress that would ease away tears...
The sound of spring water in the hollow valley...
The cowbell from the unbearably boring plain...
Let me just have you, your smile, your voice;
Let me freeze them and keep in my safe...
Then I will be like a miser
Keeping and counting and cherishing his treasure, .. ..
Let me keep what I have
Let me keep you...
