somebody's dungeon

The longing has become a life
an entity all it's own
nagging me each hour
to pick up the phone.
Call, leave a message
would you hear my desire
would you be able to detect
my passion on fire?

Would you know by my voice
that I need you right now
could you come to me love
come to me somehow?
Tearfully I turn, resist
walk away from the phone
wishing more than ever
I wasn't here alone.

WhiteRose - you're never alone when you are here at the blue pages. Keep writing it out, it does help a lot....
