DisconnectionA Poem by TashaA solider's wife's worse nightmare when getting a phone call.
You use to call me everyday
To tell me you were safe You asked me about the kids And I said that they were okay I asked you how you were And you said things could be worse I said I loved you and then hung up, Everyday I sat by the phone Waiting for you to call me, Never expecting the worse The phone finally rings as I dash to it Saying hello I listen carefully as the man explains to me, He says I'm sorry mam but he got a bullet to the chest saving his friend Silence entered the phone All I could hear was the dial tone I hung up in disbelief And I disconnected myself A knock at the door started me As a man with a flag said to me I'm sorry for your loss is there anything we can do? I said yes please help me, Because I don't know what to do A sudden pain stricken me As I think about being disconnected from him It is the worse feeling ever, I pull out his good suit To find a letter in the pocket That said I love you and we will never disconnect, A necklace of a phone expresses the love we shared, Realizing we can never have a disconnection © 2011 TashaAuthor's Note
