The terrible feeling of helplessness
uncertainty
disappointment
wishing and hoping he’ll call
feeling oh-so-alone
each second feels so long
each minute like an hour
a rising tide of sickness
the wanting and needing grows so strong
just to hear his voice
listen to his laughter
my hands clench
my eyes fill
tears threatening to cascade down
my mind wanders
could he just forget me?
after all we’ve been through?
