welt by Angela ThomasI'm scared, baby, because I worry that maybe your message
is aimed at me, "you're not important, so why don't you just
do us both a favor and hang up now?" How could I listen
to that and know that I can totally fill up your mailbox and that
away message isn't for me? I yearn for you and I cry for you because
I miss you like it hurts in my chest and I can't wait to wrap my little
arms around your neck and kiss you hard. I just want to talk to you
right now and tell you about all of this, but you're just not picking
up the phone.... 10/03/2005 Author's Note: unfinished

Posted by Cassandra Leigh on 08/28/09 at 08:10 AM i like the form of this. i like the way you broke it up, even though it reads like free verse. the desperation is palpable... if it's unfinished, it has real potential. nice one |
