Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

I Have Nothing Else

If I gave you the sun, moon, and stars
why isn't it enough?
If I changed spots that were deemed
unchangeable,
Why do you beg me to change?
If I’m in debt for giving you my very last 
dime,
Why is your hand still out?
Why do folk still ask you for things when
you are way past empty?
