Frugal

We are poor

Or so we always feel

Less richer even when we aren’t, to

Those who own without realising

As in love, I too

Am guilty of selfishness

A part of myself I wished not to give away

Will you not rob me

Steal what little hope I had in me

After all desperation to trust again

Please don’t leave me empty

As I gave all away

Willingly every time, pieces of my soul
