I give, and I give
While expecting
Nothing in return,
But the moment I
Come requesting
A very small favor
All I get is silence,
The cold shoulder
From my so-called
Friends in alliance.
I know you owe me
Nothing, but I can’t
Help feeling utterly
Rejected, dejected,
And ultimately used.
You know that I would
Not treat you that way.
Hence, this lonesome
Letter from the abused.
