He’s written his rules <br />In invisible ink <br />She’s thirsty for answers <br />But can’t get a drink <br /> <br />She’s certain of nothing <br />And unsure of all <br />Like walking a tight rope <br />And waiting to fall <br /> <br />No courage to question <br />In case he withdraws <br />He might start to think <br />She’s sharpening her claws <br /> <br />She wants not to ask him <br />For what he can’t give her <br />A cup full of rain, <br />Won’t give you a river.<br /><br />Scarborough Gypsy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cup-of-rain/
