"I'm sorry, I can't. You do understand, Don't you?" Yet you are so rich, And I so very hungry – But still you would deny me A crumb To delay starvation. "I understand." I will cut out My heart And eat that. "You’ve changed. You seem So cold and indifferent Now." I, being heartless, Reply, "I'm sorry, I can't. You do understand, Don’t you?" |
