Russell Sivey Poet Quatrain

Respect

I hope I didn’t lose respect
From any person who did read
Of my hopeless nightmare impact
A horrible day shown indeed

Please understand I didn’t mean
Terrible life implications
It may show that I am unseen
Worthless being indications

But I tried to do what was right
I lose, no matter how I look
But please do not hate me tonight
For I did suffer as I hurt

She did do this to me that day
I don’t lie just for attention 
It happened just as I did say
The nightmare keeps its retention

I hope I didn’t lose respect
For telling my day of terror
I’m not weak though as you inspect
It seems I am just in horror

Maybe telling my day of fright
Just wasn’t the best thing to do
Sat in tears when I wrote that night
Telling of my nightmare to you

I hope I didn’t lose respect
From all you precious friends out there
I meant well, tried not to infect
Wanted you to see I do care

Russell Sivey

Demetrios Trifiatis February 5, 2013 at 3:22 AM Dear Russell, How could you lose respect when you opened Your heart to friends they love you? For me, you have gained respect and, as you know, you were one of the reasons I wrote my poem “LET ME”. Beautiful writing! Thank you!

Andrea Dietrich February 4, 2013 at 6:34 PM no, you did not lose my respect. The people who lose my respect are the quiet ones who never say a word and then one day go off the deep end and I never even saw it coming!! We have to let things out. That is one of the things I like about writing.

Donna Jones February 4, 2013 at 4:46 PM Talking to each other is what soup is about. and when you make soup the more stuff you put in it the better it is...I certainly hope I don't feel it necessary to be sorry I wrote about a bad day. Lol...
