Neglected

You didn't listen to what she had to say Now you understand why she went away In your heart you long to have her back It's not too late you will see that day You did not recognize that you had a gift It was sadness that caused your mind to shift Call out and ask for her forgiveness It will give both of your spirits a lift She is longing to feel your warm embrace You will see joy written on her face She wants to be your priority Now she knows this really is the case Trying out a new form

A very thoughtful and heart warming poem, Richard. Much truth in the words. I think you wrote a very good rubaiyat. I'm thinking about trying my hand at one. Very good write. Ty for sharing it w/us. Btw, you have some of the most intriguing titles, good way to lure 'em in. Much love and respect from the RW (Romantic Warrior.)
