Cactus

Even under extreme heat

I keep my cool

Dry on the outside

Cold on the inside

Rain comes

I gather what I need

Strangers come to me

Thirsty

They drink my essence

I keep my cool

Sharing is caring

I'm no fool

They take

I give 

I accept gods blessings

I take what I need

You don't know me

I can't leave

Stuck where I stand

Comfortable

The land is beautiful

I can only look

I'll wave my hands

Maybe they'll see me

A rough exterior

Not many visitors

Your touch is soft

But I can only hurt you

No strings attached

Carry my love to your home

Dry on the outside

Made almost entirely of water

No friends around me

No shoulder to cry on

It's too damn hot outside

My eyes dry the tears..
