Not Enough

The last one

In my pillow case

Maybe I won't go hungry tonight.

She will though.

She can have it.

And now none

Nothing left

Empty

Like my parents

They had it

They lost it.

We had it

They lost it.

And now I'm hungry

Tomorrow maybe

I can walk past the bakery

And grab a few stale slices

Thrown out to the greedy grey birds

Maybe the fruit market

Won't notice an apple gone

And maybe I won't fall asleep guilty

Because I couldn't give her

Enough
