and i sit waiting by Christel Crews
and i sit waiting
for my phone to ring
with your voice on the other end
for an answer
to the simple question on the table
processing every possible
outcome that you might hand me
and i sit waiting
wondering if i really
need this on top of everything else
knowing i deserve more
yet scared to miss what might be right
and i sit waiting
comparing past to present
thinking you don't measure up to him
drowning in my mind
no escape, trapped in this mental state
and i sit waiting
fearing i said or did
something in error, turning you away
waiting for my phone to ring
if it would just ring, all could be right
and i sit waiting
for a call that will never come

Posted by Tim D Livingston on 04/12/06 at 10:16 PM Oh yeah. What a terrible insecure feeling it is. Great work describing it. |
Posted by Michelle Angelini on 04/12/06 at 11:25 PM Christel, there's no rating or quality on feelings. They just are. This is what you've let go here - a simple expression of emotion. Good - isn't this what our poetry is for?
