someone’s calling on the phone
unless it’s you, I’m not home
the house could burn, and crumble too,
I answer no one, only you.

it’s been ringing all the day,
but I don’t have a word to say
to others I am deaf and blind;
someone else is on my mind.

the handset’s blinking in its stand;
I brush it with a wistful hand
the messages, good and true,
but I won’t reply, for its not you.

family text, why not call?
they don’t understand at all
I just can’t afford the time,
If you are on the other line.

the threads are flowing, back and forth,
asking what a friendship’s worth
bellowing their urgencies,
but I am deaf to all their pleas.

the waiting I can hardly stand,
the mobile humming in my hand
someone’s trying to get through;
I talk to no one, only you.

leave a message, call past due
I talk to no one, only you.
