Weaver Woman, weave me a dream,
For I no longer know how to.
The Fae said you charge by the seam,
So I suppose it will be short.

I sold my last dream too rashly
To a goblin for too little.
He grinned at me all too brashly,
Sliding some brass coins toward me.

I have not much means to pay you,
But, Weaver, I have dire need.
Whatever you wish me to do,
Simply name it; I will comply.

Perhaps this is just some cheap scheme;
But I am too desperate to care.
Please, just weave me a simple dream
So that I will not feel empty.

Child, you seem to be misled.
A Weaver of Dreams, so I am,
But how can I weave without thread?
You leave nothing for me to weave.

I must have something to start with;
The tiniest daydream will do.
Weaving from nothing is a myth,
And you simply have nothing left.

You have eroded your spirit
Down to nothing but a longing.
I suppose that bears some merit.
You've left almost nothing else.

Before I start to weave for you,
You must try to restore your soul.
Then, I think, a dream will be due;
You've waited far too long for one.
