Of course I sneered and
and told you to save
yourself since you are
after all famous for
saving others. So how
dare you not do the
expected
as a god, no miracle
as a king, no legion
as a man, no rebuke
That meek and mild bit
how naive!
but it seems you finally
learned like I did
the hard way. I could
have told you things
are tough all over. Sure,
I'm a bitter man
have been all my life
and even now at my own
execution I have nothing
to say
except a curse.
You knew better than
to promise me platitudes
instead,
you gave me nothing
nothing but a look
and now I'm lonely for you
you gave me nothing
nothing but hope
