For Your Thoughts

By Riverette

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A penny for your thoughts And then maybe you'll share Why you keep your head down And cry with such great despair I'll give you a nickel Then you can tell me whom Killed and locked you in This premature tomb Maybe for a dime You'll decide to say What problem's you've had That have ruined your day What about a quarter Will you tell me then Or will you just run away Time and again I'll give you a dollar Ok, I'll pay five Just tell me what I can do To keep you alive I'll give you a hundred bucks Is that enough Or will you just shrug and tell me "Being a teenager is rough" I'd give you all I own My life savings and above But now I've finally realize All you want is love Written February 8th, 2001 © on Jan 05 2002 04:16 PM PST    0 • 1
