I Asked You

I asked you to wait... I had noothing but love for your pretty face You were made of royalty I was born into poverty this could not be our ever after I asked you to wait... I felt a sense of warmth towards you Your smile a constant reminder of joy After a night of passionate love I could not accept this poverty I needed time to be a success I asked you to wait... I needed you to wait my dove This poem written years later In a life graduared from poverty Teary eyes,a shattered soul Your fragile heart in his clumsy paws I watch in great grief I thought of saving you But your ring shun to bright causing me to act lightly And turn the other cheek I walk away disgruntled You failed to wait for me.
