Neglection brings me low

A soft word whispered,

A gentle ,tender touch

These are things I need

Things I miss so much

Sometimes things are forgotten

Or you are expected to always know

Somethings need reminding

Somethings you need to show

Somethings just need to be said

Instead of 'you should know'

For without this tender ,gentle touch

Neglection brings me low.

I woudl be neglectatory in not telling you how much I liked it.

I read it twice. I think you've invented a new word. All of us have suffered from "Neglection" at one time or the other. A little "I love you" now and then goes a long way. read it, got it, loved it!

Never more

Lacy, never more. Your wish will i am sure be fulfilled. Neglection is always relative to the person, there is only so much some can give, but they give their all nevertheless. Your Proff
