You Give Me [poem]

Jawadul Haque

Updated: Apr 26, 2021

A poem by Jawadul Haque


You give me raisins, you give me grapes

You give me colors, you give me shapes


You give me questions, you give me answers

You give me singers, you give me dancers


You give me hope, you give me calm

You give me a home that fits in my palm


You give me long roads, but you give me no gas

You give me a race, but no one to pass


You give me summer nights spent smoking on the roof

You give me culprits without a hint of proof


You give me fires where there’s no smoke

You give me words that make me choke.


You gave me cold, you wanted warm

You yelled, you cried, you left in a storm


You gave me boulders too heavy to lift

You’ve given me your anchor but you’ve gone adrift
