Why Don’t You Then Heed? Poem by saadat tahir

Jilted Love

Do you think of me sweet heart?
In your life, do I still have a part?
Now if you see me cry?
Will you just pass me by?
Do you know that I love you so?
Know that I need to with you go?
Do you remember the day?
Together when we used to pray?
Weren’t we so happy and gay?
Have we really parted our way?
Do you still hear the songs?
Where did you see any wrongs?
Dear do you still love my laughter?
Do memories linger of the day after?
Remember when we kissed my dear?
Did the world we see have any fear?
Sweet heart may I come back again?
Or will I hear the usual refrain?
Won’t you dear be little more caring?
Would you the void, stop now staring?
Does your core moan and bleed?
Why won’t you then, dear me heed?
