    Appreciate
    You don't appreciate the little things I do.
    All with nothing to prove, just because I love you.
    I loved the affection. 
    Now all I endure is neglect ion, and I can't express 
    that emotion. 
    My words of pain, I try to explain.
    Yet these words that I say are turned away, 
    completely ignored. 
    As if I plan my day and think there's a lot to gain.
    By planning and plotting of what next to COMPLIAN!
    You don't appreciate the little things I do.

    All with nothing to prove, just because I love you.

    I loved the affection. 

    Now all I endure is neglect ion, and I can't express 

    that emotion. 

    My words of pain, I try to explain.

    Yet these words that I say are turned away, 

    completely ignored. 

    As if I plan my day and think there's a lot to gain.

    By planning and plotting of what next to COMPLIAN!

    I've read this over and over, countless times. It's the only reason I haven't commented on it before now. This one is short and very pointed, and for that it's important to absorb it completely. In a lesser writer's hands, this could have easily degraded into something simpering and whiney, as a tedious groan. But with your skillful hands, Sandy, this is a poem that speaks volumes with so little. I can almost feel your frustration oozing from the screen while reading this. I think this may be one of your bravest poems.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
