I Forgot To Love Myself

Oh darling ! Without you oh dear !
The day nights over again now.
This spring morn rains with Autumn's tear.
Oh dear ! What a change I don't know !

I stared you though you simply looked,
You asked a hand , yet I gave two,
I was oil when you brightly blazed - 
You had been obstinate : I know.

I had no obverse to rue at.
Obverse ? WAIT ! Yes obverse I had -
From years to years , morn till late 
I had run for you - wild and mad.

Forgetting to love myself deep 
Is that change, obverse , you keep.
