call me

call me

so i can hear your voice
and tell you
how much you disgust me
how you broke me
how i will never breathe for you
again.

call me

so i can hear your voice
and remember
all the times you killed me
with your latent apathy
and your insatiable cruelty
towards me.

call me

so i can hear your voice
and remind you
of the devastation you left behind you
and the way my disgust for you grew
and all the other things
that devastation brings.

oh
just
call me

so i can hear your voice.

Oh Kara so bittersweet... it's amazing how there can be someone in our lives that can be bad for us and treat us like dirt but yet we still can't help but want and long for them... another great piece with real human emotion.

Yes - between love and hate is a very thin line only. Love can easily turn into hatred, and hatred as easily into love. A truth repeating itself again and again. Plus hatred doesn't exclude love and vice versa! Who hasn't experienced these so contrary feelings at the same time. You marvelously put it into words. Brilliant work!

I have to admit, I was have expecting a Blondie song to blare out of my speakers when I opened this. Thank god I didn't, though. I don't think I could handle that.

Putting that aside, though, it's really good. It reminds me of an ex who just couldn't get over that certain person, no matter how badly he was treated. No matter how bad it got, he still loved that person and kept coming back for more. And I think the last line says that brilliantly, putting all the negative verses behind, just wanted to hear that person's voice.

Great job!

-YOU SOUND, as if you�re not entirely angry toward him.

�Why are you still insistent to hear him even though his actions for you aren�t that as loving?�

Perhaps, you have left TOGETHER with his lingering presence; you�re still captivated in some factors you couldn�t resist about him. However, I much advice you stop calling him, nor anticipate his calls� his not that worth a man for you, I couldn�t even think to do those drastic actions to my girl, which makes her feel �LOST� all the time she�s with me�blah blah blah, I�m talking too much nonsense now! I LIKE THIS MUCH!

PS..Just my two cents of ideas!

You are a very wounded young lady. That is what I get from almost all of your poems I have read. Your poems are written in a style that I am qualified to review. But I can see much hurt very clearly depicted in your works.

I love it... the anger, the resentment and how you just want to scream at him for how much he hurt you... but deep down that love is still really there.

[Tabitha Kaufman]

To me this one sounds like you have a little confusion with love and hate. I enjoyed it and it was truley a great write.

[Shane Rendon]

Oh god, I just read a few your poems, and couln't stop, and now I'm totally hooked. I love how the last line completely turns this around. "so i can hear your voice"
I've so been there. You recrerate these feelings beautifuly.

I would have to agree with Ted... the ending surprised me. I was feeling what you were wanting to tell him, as I've been there (who hasn't), and then the last of it broke my heart a little. That voice was the death of me too many times. This is wonderfully worded and genuine. Nice!
