A Relationship
Seriously questioning my own judgement
how could I have chosen you as my soul mate;
When look back to relation find I've ignored
some obvious signs.
Probably, I was looking through lens of my
desires, fully obsessed by own passionate
feelings; Many times as soul mate fail to ask
question, " Why so numb?"
Yes, that was my fault when immersed in great joy
of passion, failing to ask very basic
thought does he feel the same passionate way as
I feel about him.
Over period, I've observed you don't feel
the urge of meeting with me, even for days
always, give evasive replies, if I ask
about long absence.
Just don't understand, how you don't feel at all
a long gap without hearing from you creates
many unwanted negative thoughts in mind
about well being.
Don't you feel I need to see you sometime; don't
know where do I stand; do you have some feeling
for me, think what’s my expectations from you
about our future?
My questions on our relationship, you just
ignore or answer with vagueness; never know
when I'll see you again; Don't think we can build
a relationship.

(Poetic Form :: Loose Sapphic)
There are variations of the Sapphic Stanza;
the Loose Sapphic form created by Marie Marshall.
The form is composed over four lines, the first three being hendecasyllabic
(a line of verse having eleven syllables) and the fourth being pentasyllabic (Having five syllables).
The focus is on syllabic meter rather than accentual giving the poet more room to explore poetical device and grammatical schema within the verse structure.
Rhyme Pattern: Unrhymed
Using ‘X’ to represent each syllable the schema of the Loose Sapphic
form can be shown as thus:
X X X X X X X X X X X
