this world of instant communication
still collides with the heart
how cruel the day begins
when your text is ignored again
how you shame yourself into dreams
of what may happen or may have been
to think you are alone
as you try again, and nothing comes.
a silent rage takes hold of you
every two minutes you check to see
but your soul knows deep inside
that an answer has not replied.
I miss just calling on the phone
but then again I miss it all
of face to face, to see your eyes
to kiss you lips and know you lied.

of face to face, to see your eyes
to kiss you lips and know you lied

Is real love blind or is real love sightful ?...

I enjoyed the deep and writing of your poem.

This captures that anxious sensation well.

Michael,

I read your poem first thing this morning and had no time to respond.  It followed me throughout the day and I had to come find it again.  I have felt this - and you capture the frustration and compulsion so well.  

I have saved this one - and thank you for sharing.

Alison
