Just a phone call



The door to her heart slams
With the click of the phone
The silence that follows
Haunts her every night.
Her momentary illusions
Splintering into thousand pieces
Of doubt and fear
She is once more alone
In her world of
Pain and anguish.
Her heart aching
She turns on her side
And tears flow
Soaking her pillow.
She is Cinderella
Living off on borrowed time.

Another moment gone
Another day has come to pass
Another long wait
Before that door opens
To let love in.
Days seem endless
Her wait stretching forever
Her eyes always watching
The slow ticking hands of the clock.
Waiting for that bewitching hour
When a flicker of hope
Of togetherness sparks in her…
That is all she has
No promises, nothing
Just a phone call
And a voice whispering “I love you forever”

  11. I am in awe of you and the way words flow out of your heart and soul, falling as lightly as feathers on the ground but so unimaginably powerful in the feelings they evoke from your readers...

  24. This was so descriptive and I was open to interpret at the end :) I read it a couple of times and I decided that she got the phone call instead of living off borrowed time and latent words. So sad but I like that you can make it mean something more just by the way your right - it's clever.
