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

Oh yeah. What a terrible insecure feeling it is. Great work describing it.

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?

Yeah...worst feeling ever, yet so much growth occurs in it's presence. Nicely done.
