The phone call

entry picture

 

Staring at the sign that says “Take exit 35 for airport “
I tried to hide my tears behind my acquiescent eye balls
A painful scream was trying to blast my head
But I tried to pass a smile at you instead

 

The cab turned right to stop at the parking lot
You said “I will miss you”, but I could hardly talk
Grasping a heartful of your glance , I turned around
I was scared, how broken I could have sound 

 

Walking down the stairs I fought with myself
Why didn’t I speak what I had stored for you in my heart’s shelf
I pulled myself over to write what I feel too
But my tears washed all letters on my note for you

 

Your thoughts disturbed me through those hours I tried sleeping
I had spent an entire day in my flight weeping 
I was all alone in an overcrowded boarding hall 
I couldn’t wait to give you a telephone call

 

But that was the last time I heard your voice
When you revealed the truth about your love for “Troy”
And I was thrown into the other side of the firewall
Because “The person I was trying to reach, was on another call”
