Voicemail, 3 am

Voicemail, 3 am

A Poem by amz
"

A voicemail to a former lover at 3 am. Part 2 in a 3 part series.

"

Is it okay if i talk to you until the sun rises?

I barely go one night without your ghost haunting my nightmares.

I forgot what it’s like to sleep through the night.

Your side of the bed is as empty as the beating heart inside my chest.

I never sleep because i can hear you pacing the room.

I quit smoking years ago,

But i still choke on the poison you left inside my lungs.

The day i told you i loved you was the day i stopped breathing properly.

Your fingers grasp my throat,

Yet my cries don’t reach your ears.

Do you remember the night you sobbed as i held you in my arms

And you told me just how badly you needed me?

How disappointing that you turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

I’m calling for a lot of reasons,

But the only one worth repeating is that i love you.

I love you. I love you.

I will always love you.

Good or bad,

I will always love you.
