"Just one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread."
Write a story or poem which contains this line.
Trickle
Love open heart should have been
Craving
Fill
Empty as the ocean now desert is dry
Dust
Eye full of lust
Baby born to death in the end
A whole life spent searching for a friend
Lonely
Cry dry eyes
Nothing comes out
Dry open mouth
Dry bread to choke on
Do I have to beg
For the bare minimum
Just one beggar telling another beggar where to find
Bread Crumbs
For the birds
Sky full of blue
Heart open as the sky
Searching for what is true
A trickle of trust
Hard not to do
Get through life
Alone
No one but you
wow, this is haunting but powerful. love the rawness of “begging for the bare minimum” and that image of dry bread just hits hard. like you can really feel the emptiness. the ending with “no one but you” makes it feel so honest, almost like giving in but still searching.
Thank you Gemma. You articulate so well, I feel like you would be good at writing reviews.
I appreciate your comment😀
