Morning Pill #6

>> the foolish trader <<

what i would exchange for a touch?

for a smile, i would trade my frowns.

for a peal of laughter, i would cry in secret.

and holding her, i would give...alas

but she does not let her hold me

and if her time is more precious than gold.

i would give my diamonds.

and for her heart, well

her heart i would my soul.
