I'm Not Mad At You, I'm Mad At "Yes"

I have a love-hate relationship with many things, one of which is my boyfriend's cell phone provider... Grr Metro...

Your phone is mocking me.
So long after you've gone
It sends an echo of your reply.
It's starting to
Piss
Me
Off.
I turn off my own phone
Just for a while,
So I can cool down.
But I know my addiction to you
Won't really ever
Keep
It
Off.
I'll turn it back on soon,
Hoping that maybe one
Of my messages woke you up.
Once again I'll have to
Shake
Hope
Off.

Author's Note

Spur of the moment type thing.

don't shake hope off. I mean your entitled to feel good about your relationships.
Your poem strikes that chord with me, it's excellent in that your emotion and flavor or mood come across in a profound way. Your a great writer!
