The dial tone hums in my ear, of the pay phone on the street corner.
The buttons i press play an obscure melody
as the icy wind scrapes at my neck
as the snow begins to dust my shoulders.
lightly over the howling wind i hear the ringing
her phone is ringing...
the streetlight casts an orange haze on the snow
i grip my coat tighter to my body yet still
the cold wind is more constricting.
whilst her phone still rings i count my hasted breaths.
the awaited click, my eyes brighten in the relief of anticipation,
her voice quicker than mine. "Sorry, I'm not here at the moment,
please leave me a message at the beep and i'll get back to you later."
followed immediately by the forewarned beep.
a light sigh spills forth from my mouth, my face pressed against the glass
my breaths collect and fog.
ever since fall, i've been just another missed call.
the winter is so cold, and so long.
i write too much poetry now. well, heres another one off the rack with the dust blown off. if that didnt connect for you i meant it was very old. just got back from basic trining a week ago and i'm just now starting to post again. its about time i guess really. probably wont get much reaction considering my extended absence from the world. three and a half months, got back halloween night.
well this one is about, actually i really dont care to fill any of you in at all. believe what you want and make your own assumptions at least you'll be putting your imagination into some fuction or another. well here it is, another piece from my life i dont even know why i show you guys anymore, i dont care what anyone thinks and compliment almost sicken me honestly, i appreciate the intent but i really could care less to hear it. i'm not looking for anything and the only outlet i need is myself, i wrote it for me not you. but here i am still posting pointlessly. well enjoy.
