Your number never answers-
I merely hear your voice...
With the standard message,
And the standard choice...
“I’m sorry I’m not home right now-
But I’ll return your call”.
I sadly leave my message-
Then I let the hand set fall.

I type and send the e-mails-
But never get replies...
I know that it is over...
So why am I surprised?
So let me say, “I love you-
Now I’ll leave you alone”.
I guess that we both knew our love-
Was going, going, gone.

I loved the brevity of the poem-it reinforced the message, and gave it power. Very well done.

Very sad when that happens. You've expressed the pain well.

welp, being on the other side, I let my voicemail get my calls. I can say I've let alot of them go. I know this hurts, but sooner or later you'll find someone who'll speak with you. Hopes and prayers, PS
