A Misunderstanding

I regret the time, when, I left you alone, You again, stopped me, but I did not care. Things taught me, and time has shown, Realise now I, “how could you then bear?” You loved me much, now, how can I atone Just stand still, only, in the dark, to stare I would love to be called back,”My love” And share, the times, we were proud of. I want back, all the warmth, you showered, Your smiles, your hugs and your kisses. Frighten me, why? With your face so glowered, Don’t deny me, with my sweet reminisces. I m repentant, for all your hopes, I devoured, I have already cried a lot, in soft hisses. You could not see the scars, beneath, The sky was on me, I lost in the heath. You insulted me at the public junction, And threw away my composed song, apart. Neither did you feel,why? any compunction, With tears in my eyes, I had to depart. I met the disgrace at the function, My heart seemed to break, into half. I could not bear, your applause, for my rival, The thing I repeatedly told you, for revival. I m not alone, the one, to be blamed, Although I walked away, time has been tough. All was not only my fault but you claimed. Do forgive me now, don’t be rough, I am saturated with, the pain I have tamed. You’ll love me as before, I m sure enough. We’ll again build our small cosy zoo With no more differences between me and you.

Very beautiful and open poem - I sure do hope that it all works out - remember differences are nothing more than the building blocks that relationships stand upon provided that both people are willing to compromise with the other - Often we allow ourselves to overlook the answers because of our pride - best of wishes & God Bless
