Ungrateful Sleeping Boy

Two months had past
nothing she gives
Neither a word
nor a single hi
All was a dream
will to wake from I have not


Story too long to tell
emotions still run wild
Facing it all alone
standing pain hard to bear
Listeners grow faint
along with watchers who care


Hands to borrow there are
but not the one in desire
Learn to allow and receive
to unlearn self-defined best
Differentiate needs from wants
Integrate self to help
