the phone that never rang

i waited for the phone to ring

i waited to hear your voice

i waited for you

but the phone did not ring

and i did not hear your voice

and you did not come

i waited looking at the clock

it was like i was a slave to time

just waiting

battling myself

that you love me

that you care what happens

you said you would be there

when i need you

but you werent

looking at the phone waiting for the phone call

that says you love and want me back

i look

and i look

and i look

yet no ring

i give myself false hope

i pray to god this will come

but in the end there is nothing

nothing but silence

and the pain i feel

and the lonely starts to eat away

and i become bitter

and still no call

I will still wait for that call that will say

everythings alright

because even though u do not love me anymore

I will still care

so till this call comes

I will wait

"it was like i was a slave to time"...how many times have I felt just this? Waiting, wondering... This was an emotional poem, very beautiful!

I'm living in an extended version of this poem, and I feel every bit of this, especially the part about getting bitter. Great attempt to capture something we all feel sometime or another.

I got teary eyed bro. this really hits home. I loved the way it was put together, the arrangement and flow helped me understand the pain. Amazing poem. I guess we wear our hearts for all to see huh?

A most emotional write here and well written.

Sometimes a love just feels so strong that you cannot imagine it ever ending, or comprehend that the other person could just walk away from it.
Its mind numbing and painful
