   Morning, No recall of yesterday.
     Night, What went astray?
   Morning, Long wait for a call.
     Night, Moonlight, sounds of owls.
   Morning, Confusion filters the mind.
     Night, Did not know I was so blind.
   Morning, Tears, begin to flow.
     Night, Cold, so much sorrow.
   Morning, Regrets signs of despair.
     Night, Lonely now, no longer a pair.
   Morning, Please return, I'm so sorry!
     Night, Take away the roses, buddy!
   Morning, Hello,please! A lawyer, a voice.
     Night, My partner wants a divorce.


Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

This is one week I hope to never find in my day planner.  Excellent format and wonderful verse from beginning to end (or should I say from morning to night)

Serenity, Mark, Dee, Victoria, and Charisma,
Let me just say, I am not going through a divorce. I wrote this, for a friend who never really cared much about his sweet wife, and when she stood up to him, he had nowhere to run.
Thank you all for your kind words. Cheers

JD~
I sense that this is written for others
so that they realize that sometimes you can dance
But ... by golly, the piper will collect !

Nicely done.

Nicely written, Daniel!  Unfortunately, far too many people find themselves in this situation - don't know what you've got till it's gone!  (I can say I know a few.)  I really liked it, my friend!  Talk to you soon!

Marge, Charisma, snowpants, and Paula,
Thank you all for your replies. It often dawns on many people who lose a partner that they have made mistakes. Some acknowledge it some foolishly do not.

jncm, and Ron
Thank you for your replies. Often times many of us forget that a relationship means the concern of two not one.

I liked the style - it conveyed the diminishment of hope well...

Enjoyed! =) LJ
