Neglected

Four Quatrains of Neglect

I felt quite neglected

It’s just that simple

Didn’t receive love as expected

Instead of a wave, a ripple

–

I adored you every day

And do many little things

That’s why I feel dismay

That inequality brings

–

I told you truth

And dealt with your vice

You were always were uncouth

With your pack of lies

–

As I pay this final alimony

It hurts me like a knife

A manipulating phony

And never quite a wife…
