Neglect

Can you spell it

I hope so

Because you do it

Neglect

That’s what I get

Handed to me

On a silver platter

Tarnished by tears

Neglect

I can feel it

Cutting my skin

Stinging my eyes

Neglect

Killing me inside

Depressing me

I know it

Neglect

And you don’t

Because I won’t

I can’t

Neglect

Festering and growing

You nurture it

And love it more

Neglect

Neatly packaged

Just for me

By you.
